Many ROBLOXians seem to try to make great games, and even if they built it amazingly, their scripting is atrocious and the game breaks even if they try to get their brain to work extremely hard. I have a solution to this, embedding the Scratch programming language for basic things. If you don't know what Scratch is, it is a block based scripting language that is extremely basic. Please, don't say this will break a lot of games, or tell me to go learn script, because this is'nt the point. ROBLOX's goal for 2013 is to make building and scripting easier, and if they embed Scratch into ROBLOX in conjunction with Lua,Ii'm pretty sure the quality of games will rise. Thanks, funbuilder909.

Or you could just spend the couple hours needed to learn Lua. Lua is pretty simple already.

@1eggnog That's not the point though, many people who play ROBLOX, especially kids can't invest the time, energy or attention to make a good ROBLOX place, so instead of having to learn to script, they can make basic things from Scratch and go forward to Lua from there.

I'd barely call Scratch a scripting language. Also, no. You're right this won't break games. It would ruin them. Learning Lua would be better than Scratch, mostly because it actually uses syntax.
