Post #1 ROBLOX

What did you do?

Following the site's instructions, I went to the ROBLOX studio homepage and went on the Create & Destroy Template.

Create and Destroy Template near the bottom before Galactic Speedway and after Combat Template.

After doing so you get a template with tiny buildings and roads for you to work with, the tutorial instructs you to start placing buildings and spawn locations around the area then add roads wherever so that the game can function.

Template for you to work with.

Adding the buildings you get for free and place them around the first half of the map. You can add them in any place leave enough room for roads though.

Add roads to complete it even further, the roads can be found on the side and duplicating them with the CTRL + D shortcut will allow you to duplicate that model so you can move it over and not have to keep copy and pasting them since copy and pasting makes them float above the ground and it makes it hard to put it on the ground easy without everything being uneven.

After doing so, you add more roads and props which are tiny little cars and even palm trees to add a spring of life to your mini-game map.

After adding cars and props, you select the first half of the map you did and copy and paste it over to the other side and tweak it so that it fits greatly together. Then after doing so add a barrier of terrain so that the players cannot glitch out of the map while playing the game.

And your done, after doing so you publish the game to ROBLOX and enjoy the beginning to your developer career in ROBLOX with a simple mini-game pre-made for you.

What did you learn?

What I learned from doing the Create & Destroy challenges is a bit of script editing, although it isn't much it's a beginning to sort of scripting by editing numerals in the script to affect the amount of points you get when you destroy buildings in the game.

Editing the numbers below to change the amount of points you get depending on the size of buildings within the game.

I also learned about Terrain building by making a barrier around the map by making grass to protect the players from glitching. It is easy to use and spreads the terrain around in big sizes.

Adding Terrain to protect the players from glitching.

I also learned how to publish my games and add thumbnails to my games by taking photos within the game and publishing it via ROBLOX website. Thumbnails are important as it shows players a sneak peek of the game before they play it and it captures interest.

Adding the game icon for when it appears on the ROBLOX website capturing the attention of players.

Thumbnails and videos for a sneak peek of gameplay before players jump into the game and begin to smash the buildings and everything in their path.

What will you do tomorrow?

I believe tomorrow what I will do is begin making more complex maps and areas to learn more about scripting and maybe building so I can create a game that will hopefully be a bit better than the Create & Destroy one I made. I hope to do good and follow tutorials so I can grasp the concept more easy and script more easily as well.
