Chapter 1: Getting Up to Speed with Roblox and Luau Basics
In this chapter, we will start by looking at what Roblox is. Once we know this, we will learn about Roblox’s programming language. Then, we will proceed to understand the basics of this programming language, such as the data types and variables. We will learn how to perform unique operations on each of these data types, such as math operations. Once we know this, we can slowly increase the complexity of our scripts. We will then use conditionals to take our scripts to another level. Conditionals allow us to change the behavior of our code depending on data. Finally, we will learn all about scopes. We will learn what they are and why it is crucial to keep them in mind while coding.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
- Understanding Roblox and Luau
- Understanding and using data types in Luau
- Introducing variables
- Using conditionals
- Understanding scopes
- Exercises
By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to make scripts in Roblox. In addition, you will know how to make simple systems in your experience.
