Explore Roblox game development in this two-hour introductory course, with a public Google doc for the Roblox development book and free tutorials on Udemy and YouTube for ongoing learning.
Explore Roblox Studio basics, from installing Roblox Studio and the live Roblox Bible to navigating the viewport, explorer, and workspace, adjusting properties, and publishing your game to Roblox.
Learn Roblox scripting in Roblox Studio with Luau by creating your first script; compare server, local, and module scripts and use print statements to debug via the output window.
Learn about boolean, number, and string data types in Roblox Studio and how to store them with variables using camelCase naming for scalable scripts.
Learn to manipulate object properties in Roblox Studio via scripts, changing transparency, reflectance, color, and material on the base plate by traversing the game hierarchy with dot notation.
Define and call reusable functions in Roblox Studio, pass parameters to perform tasks, and use string concatenation to personalize messages or adjust a part's transparency and material.
Learn how to use if-else statements in Roblox Studio, including booleans and or operators, with practical baseplate and access examples.
Explore loops in Roblox Studio, learning for and while iterations with counters, start, end, and step, including nested loops and practical color-changing examples on a base plate using task.weight.
Explore Roblox scripting fundamentals by understanding parent-child hierarchies, models versus folders, and how to use findFirstChild and waitForChild to safely access parts and objects like humanoids and kill bricks.
Explore Roblox events by handling player added and object touched events in Roblox Studio, connect callbacks, and print player IDs to observe event driven behavior.
Access the attached playlist to view the final two videos and five more tutorials that expand your Roblox game development knowledge for free on YouTube.
Learn to create Roblox GUI elements using starter GUI and screen GUI templates, including text labels and essential properties like enabled, ignore GUI inset, reset on spawn, and display order.

Become a Roblox Developer: Build Your First Game in 2 Hours
Are you ready to transform from a gamer into a creator? Roblox isn't just a platform for playing; it’s a powerful engine fueled by a massive global community and a professional-grade development environment called Roblox Studio. Whether you want to build the next viral "Obby," a complex simulator, or just learn the fundamentals of game design, this course is your ultimate jumpstart.
In just 120 minutes, we strip away the fluff and focus on the high-impact skills you need to go from a blank baseplate to a playable, scripted experience.
Why Choose This Course?
The world of game development can feel intimidating, especially when you see complex lines of code and 3D modeling interfaces. This course is designed specifically for absolute beginners. We bridge the gap between "playing" and "making" by using a hands-on, project-based approach. By the end of this two-hour intensive, you won't just have watched videos—you will have built a functional game.
What You Will Learn
Mastering the Roblox Studio Interface: Navigate the 3D viewport like a pro. We’ll cover the Explorer, Properties, and Toolbox panels so you never feel lost in the software.
3D Modeling & Environment Design: Learn how to manipulate "Parts" to create obstacles, buildings, and landscapes. We’ll explore materials, colors, and lighting to make your world look professional.
Introduction to Scripting (Lua): Don't let the word "coding" scare you! We introduce you to Lua, the lightweight and powerful language used by Roblox. You’ll learn how to make objects move, change color, and kill players (the "Lava" effect) using variables, functions, and events.
Game Physics & Mechanics: Understand how "Anchoring" works and how to use the "SpawnLocation" to control where players begin their journey.
Who This Course Is For:
Aspiring Game Designers: Anyone who has an idea for a game but doesn't know where to start.
Students & Hobbyists: A great way to learn logic and 3D spatial reasoning.
Parents: A productive way to turn your child’s screen time into a valuable STEM skill.
Requirements:
A PC or Mac (Roblox Studio does not run on Chromebooks, iPads, or consoles).
A free Roblox account.
No prior programming or 3D modeling experience required!
