Roblox Coding 1, 2, 3 & 4 – Summer Term 2024

Roblox Coding 1 (Beginner)

This live online weekly class  is designed for late primary to secondary aged students who are looking to learn to code using a proper “grown-up” programming language.

Learn to code using your favourite gaming platform and develop fun Roblox games. Our Lua based code editor is particularly suitable for this age group because it is really easy to use and can be built up to more text-heavy coding once you get comfortable with the basics.

This weekly class is a great introduction to both fundamental computer aided design and the Lua programming language. Lua is widely used as a scripting language by game developers across the world.

By the end of the course, the students will be comfortable programming and creating Roblox games and will have published at least one game on to Roblox, which could end up helping them make lots of Robux!

• Design a Roblox game in Roblox Studio
• Learn Lua syntax and use it to script your game
• Use loops and conditionals (IF/THEN/ELSE)
• Understand variables (number, Boolean, string)
• Create and use functions
• Use all of the above to make a super cool game

Roblox Coding 2 (Intermediate)

This is our most popular and exciting course. Students will create their own fully functional and realistic roleplay games. They will learn to publish their games and how to market them effectively to gain gameplay popularity.

What you will learn:

• Use Roblox Studio’s advanced features to model realistic interactions
• Covering intermediate level LUA coding principles to design weapons and transport systems
• Create custom world maps
• Create custom accessories and effects
• Understand physics concepts such as gravity and velocity in 3D games
• Creating leader boards and scoring systems
• Create custom sidekicks and superpowers
• How to add special Game Passes (the specifics of this will be covered in the Advanced Roblox Game Entrepreneur course)
• Publishing and marketing your roleplay game

Roblox Coding 3 & 4 (Advanced)

Learn to code using your favourite gaming platform and develop fun Roblox games. Roblox is the most popular game creation platform in the world. Successful games and models have the potential to generate millions of Robux for creators all across the planet and any age.

This summer term course is a great next step up from fundamental programming concepts and the Lua programming language. Lua is widely used as a scripting language by game developers across the world. Children will study the game design mechanics of the most popular games and will learn how to create monetisation strategies that can be applied in their own games.

By the end of the course, the students will be comfortable programming and creating Roblox games and will have published at least one game on to Roblox, which could end up helping them make lots of Robux!

• Learn advanced game design concepts
• Use LUA programming scripts to create custom behaviours and game interactions
• Create NPC animations (for example ‘Rag Doll’ behaviours)
• Use powerful 3D model creation tools such as Blender and Maya to create amazing 3D meshes and custom models
• Strategies to monetise such as creating game passes
• Use all of the above to make super cool games
