*Note: Before anyone says "U build games wiv blokz dont b stupidd" or something like that, don't. I am not a stupid person suggesting that you should be able to build with blocks when it already exists. What I am suggesting is different. Those who did basic IT may have used a programming language that does not involve typing but instead involve blocks which you drag and drop a snap together, I will not say the name of these for banishment reason. This is known as a block based programming environment (I think). An easy way for beginners to program events so that they understand basic pseudo code. I think this would work well in roblox because Roblox is blocky already. for some reason I cannot code in RLua I find it quite a struggle and I only know the basics. I can't be the only one either. The block base environment would be helpful because: -- Its just a matter of dragging and dropping -- It prevents typo mistakes -- If the blocks contained the code on it then it teaches beginners how to type in Rlua If it is allowed on the website I will tell you the names of programs like this and you can see what I am trying to explain. This could work by having two tabs in the script area, 1 code and 1 blocks. in code tab you can type it all and in block tab you drag code in

I both agree and disagree with this. Lua is one of the easiest languages out there and I don't think it should be downgraded. Scratch is a great place to learn if you know literally nothing about computer. It might be interesting if ROBLOX somehow supports 'code-block' based learning, but I think that would also ruin the point of learning to script properly. My overall answer is no. But again, if you're looking for a place to start, I'd recommend Scratch. RBLX Lua is extremely easy to learn and should probably be your next step. ~MightyDantheman~

####### you can use both but the block based is basic if you want advanced games like PHANTOM FORCES you need to code after using the block based code you can translate it to lua code

I agree that users should have to manually translate it. My main problem with this is people being able to abuse the block coding to make complex games with little effort and without knowing what they're actually doing. In my opinion, coding blocks can only help with learning how computer language works, nothing else. ~MightyDantheman~
