Roblox is an online game platform that simultaneously hosts games and game creation. Users can either access the gallery of games created by other Roblox users or create their own unique games using Roblox Studio. CodaKid’s Roblox coding for kids courses include a short set of Roblox Studio tutorials that will help your child master the basic controls of Roblox Studio—the first step to creating their very own game!
Simply put, Roblox is a game (or a library of games)—not a programming language.
But it does use one!
Users can make their Roblox game creations come to life using the Lua scripting language—a popular programming language that’s very similar to Java. In fact, a lot of programmers often blend both languages to form a unique scripting language. Lua is particularly popular because it’s one of the easiest scripting languages to learn and work with.
