When ROBLOX was made, it had to be put online, so it used HTML for the website. Every website today is using Html. Why'd they decide to reinvent the wheel and make Lua for the game instead of using Html? |

I'd imagine it'd be hard to build a game in Html. And, the Roblox game base is coded in C++.

Agreed, Html is much better than LUA, and easier.
No, Roblox is not made in C+, its actually made in LUA, a low level language (that means its bad because its on a low level). |

lets kick out the middleman. lets use straight binary.

The way I see it, we're foruming on ROBLOX. Imagine if the forums could run ROBLOX in HTML. We would never have to stop foruming. |

@jasonfish4, wonderful reply; however, HTML on ############# is an even better language for game development, it's an HTML Library dedicated to game development and has important functions such as collision detectors, camera panning, real physics that interact with the server, etc... @coolandy31, I don't think you understand, binary is compiled into Html code and thats how the processor understands it, you cant go lower than Html. |

@Syndir
I'm gonna put in my opinion here, I don't think it would be that easy if ROBLOX was actually made in Lua. You would need to know C# or something along those lines to make the API. What I think is that the RobloxPlayer uses C++ since it's a .exe file and has a lua environment... |

html is for web development lol |

oh and roblox was coded in c++ |

I'm starting to think that ROBLOX really made big mistakes here. I wonder if they'd consider switching everything over to HTML and removing Lua. If the entire Internet of HTML runs securely, I'd like to see someone cheat in an HTML powered game. |

@syndir
umm... I think you're mixed up with low and high level languages
a low level language would be machine code or something close to it |

@cokeeeeeeeee
No, your wrong, a low level language is bad because its on a low level. High level languages are better because theyre high and very high skilled. |

@Cokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I think you have a screw loose in your head. Languages can't ################ ################## Hence why HTML is better, if it's always low, it cant ################ ################## therefore its superior to every language because of its soberness, so I think you're off, buddy. |
