Scripting can be hard to understand. (I'm still learning it, but it's pretty easy as of now.) For users who are new to scripting and find it too convoluted to follow, why not implement a similar interface that Scratch (programming language) has? The more they mess with that type of interface, the more they learn and write medium to complex scripts. |

ROBLOX really needs this type of feature. I can make more higher quality content quicker in Little Big Planet than in ROBLOX's scripting.

Yeah I need this. I am young so that might be why I don't understand it, but it is just so hard.. Scratch I have mastered. |

This is called event-driven programming.

lua is the easiest coding language and roblox dumbed it down even more
|
|

Rbx.Lua is dumbed down so kids can understand it. I, myself, learned JavaScript at 10 years old. I pity whoever cant master it. |

Lua is an incredibly simplistic language, which is a lot easier to understand (to 'newbies') compared to other languages out there. There is simply no need for a drag-and-drop interface like Scratch uses. |

ROBLOX Lua is very complex due to the fact that 3D math is required. |

I learned Roblox's API easily when i was 10. It shouldn't be hard.

The 3D math part of ROBLOX is a bit difficult. They need more Auxiliary functions for that kind of stuff. |
|
|
well duh, the math in lua is trig.

I know. We just need more Auxiliary functions for the guys who don't know it to more easily start out and for the guys who do know it to make more faster progress. |

lua has basically no unneeded syntax so it's the best real language roblox can use
the programming that scratch uses is cancer and does not reflect the challenges in real programming languages
"ROBLOX Lua is very complex due to the fact that 3D math is required."
i don't know what you expected. 3D isn't easy in any form.

block-based coding is for 3 year olds |

I hate []. |

"internet.Scratch.API:Destroy()
error- API is not a valid member of Scratch"
that means scratch isn't a programming language!

It still technically is a programing language since you tell the computer what to do, but it's a very high-level language to the point you loose flexibility. |

It isn't a programming language. It can't do what Lua or JavaScript or any other superior language can

It tells a program to tell the computer what to do
there is difference

It isn't a programming language, it probably converts it to JS and then converts the js to binary.

Then it's an interpreted programing language. |

But still, I fully on board with this idea. |
