Game Development with Roblox Studio

Roblox is one of the world's most popular game-creation platforms, giving young creators the tools to build, script, and publish their own games to a global audience of millions. This course introduces students to Roblox Studio, where they'll learn to design 3D environments and bring them to life using Lua, Roblox's scripting language. By the end, students will have designed, scripted, and published their own playable game on Roblox — one that friends and family can actually play.

Why take this course?

Roblox is one of the most-played platforms among kids worldwide, which makes it a rare kind of motivator: students aren't just learning to code, they're learning to build something their friends can actually play. Through a Project-Based Learning approach, students move from basic 3D building to real scripting with Lua — picking up programming fundamentals like variables, events, and conditional logic that transfer directly to other languages. Unlike many beginner coding courses, this one ends with a published, shareable game, giving students a real sense of ownership and a concrete portfolio piece.

Prerequisites:

Prior coding experience is optional, but comfort with basic computer use (mouse, keyboard, browsing) is expected.
Prior completion of Scratch Level 1 or 2 is helpful but not required — students with no block-coding background can still succeed with extra support in the first two weeks.
A typing speed of 15–20 Words Per Minute (WPM) is recommended, since Lua scripting involves typing code rather than drag-and-drop blocks.

Course Outline

2 Month Plan

Building Foundations & First Mechanics

Getting Started with Roblox Studio

Interface & Navigation — tour of Roblox Studio, camera controls, Explorer/Properties panels; build a simple baseplate scene.
Parts & Properties — creating and manipulating parts (size, color, material, anchoring); build a piece of an obstacle course.

Building an Obstacle Course

Placing platforms and gaps sized for the character's built-in jump, reasoning about spacing and height so the default controller can clear them.
Adding orbs, plates, and Toolbox models (spinners, moving platforms, decoration) to vary the path.

Checkpoints & Spawn Points

Using SpawnLocation parts so players respawn at the last checkpoint reached — no scripting required.
A first light script: making the character display a message when touching a barrier or checkpoint.

Intro to Scripting with Lua

The Script Editor, Lua syntax basics (variables, print statements), revisiting and explaining the touch script from Week 3.
Building a door or button with ClickDetector and simple conditional logic.

Atmosphere, Systems & Publishing

Environment Building — Terrain & Atmosphere

Sculpting hills, water, and landscapes with Roblox's terrain editor.
Adjusting time of day, ambient lighting, sound effects, and particle effects to set a scene's mood.

Leaderboards & Game Data

Setting up a leaderboard to track points, coins, or time per player.
Scripting collectible items that increase a player's score when picked up.

GUI & Game Feedback

Creating on-screen text, buttons, and score displays with Roblox's GUI tools.
Scripting a win screen or game-over state triggered by player actions.

Final Project & Publishing

Combining building, scripting, and GUI into one complete mini-game.
Publishing the game to Roblox, setting thumbnails/descriptions, inviting friends to play.

Learning Outcomes

Navigate Roblox Studio confidently — using parts, properties, and the Toolbox to build 3D scenes.
Design a playable obstacle course, using platforms, gaps, and models sized to the built-in character controller's jump.
Set up checkpoints and spawn points with SpawnLocation, and understand how player respawning works.
Write basic Lua scripts — variables, events, and conditional logic.
Script touch- and click-based interactions, including barrier dialogue, interactive doors, and buttons.
Sculpt terrain and adjust lighting/sound to shape the mood of a game environment.
Build a leaderboard and scripted collectibles to track player progress.
Design a simple GUI, including on-screen text, score displays, and win/lose feedback.
Combine building, scripting, and UI into one complete, playable mini-game.
Publish a finished game to Roblox and share it with friends and family.

Learning to code helps build essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It fosters logical reasoning, boosts confidence in using technology, and prepares children for a future increasingly shaped by digital tools.

While we highly encourage punctuality and regular attendance, we understand that emergencies can happen. In such a case, parents must inform the instructor before the class and request a recording. In this way, the instructor can arrange a recording if informed in advance, as we do not usually record classes.
