About this camp

In this engaging Roblox course, your child will master game development using Lua scripting. They'll seamlessly progress from Roblox enthusiast to skilled Roblox coder, acquiring a comprehensive skill set along the way.

They will begin by learning to create interactive games and applying essential programming concepts such as branching and iteration. This foundational knowledge allows them to modify game object properties during gameplay, bringing their creations to life. As their confidence grows, they'll delve into reactive game components, adding excitement with dynamic power-ups and interactive enemy encounters.

Your child will also learn the art of managing player inventory and scripting custom effects for equipping and activating in-game items. This knowledge ensures their games are not only engaging but also well-equipped for diverse player experiences.

The course then shifts focus to multiplayer gaming, teaching your child how Roblox manages teams of players. They'll facilitate player interaction and learn to join teams, enhancing the social and competitive aspects of their games. Your child will also be able to save player progress securely on Roblox's servers, ensuring that valuable game data, such as scores and currency, persists between gaming sessions.

Moreover, they'll master the art of managing the user interface, effectively communicating with the player's screen. This skill set includes understanding the difference between server and local Lua scripts and using Lua syntax to exchange data between the server and the player's local machine.

By the end of this Roblox course, your child will be able to create a vast array of multiplayer games, including obstacle courses, platformers, racing games, and stealth games. Their creative potential in the world of Roblox game development will be limitless.
