I recently completed this incredibly well-structured and extensive Roblox course, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! The course, consisting of nearly 140 lessons, is both comprehensive and detailed, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced learners. I appreciate the length and depth of the content—it allowed me to dive deeply into every aspect of Roblox development. The instructor does an outstanding job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and engaging way. I’ve been following his content on YouTube for a long time, and this course exceeded my expectations, providing even more value and insights. As a Roblox teacher myself, I’m always on the lookout for resources to enhance my teaching. This course has significantly improved my skills in Lua programming, allowing me to create and guide my students through the development of games of any complexity. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to master Roblox, and I can confidently say that it has made me a better educator as well. If anyone is interested in seeing the final project I created based on this course, you can check it out here: https://www.roblox.com/games/18921308394/Retro-Arcade. I have also added some of my own touches to the project, so it doesn't match the instructor’s project 100%, but it’s a testament to the flexibility and creativity that the course fosters.

It's a straight forward instruction into building a maze game. Super simple. If you're expecting a tutorial on what each code means and science behind it then this is not it. A good starter for Roblox development.
By Silvio Lavandeira on 12/3/2021
This is my first Roblox scripting attempt ever, and I am not confident yet about the scripting since all I have done was to copy the videos, hence I will try to use the principles here and apply in different situation. Also the instructor could have provided the Maze content (3D file) as I got distracted by produce my own and felt to start over. Overall, its a good start thanks for sharing.

Uh , the person who is explaining the scripting is really good , but when he is explaining about other thing (expect scripting) thats not that good and tell him to make more advanced tutorials and i would really like it :> , And the course is really good and i learned a lot with it :)

This tutorial seems specifically crafted for Roblox and Lua. Amazing how this thing was free. Thanks for your hard work. This helped me build a solid foundation in Lua and Roblox to continue the journey.

This was a great course. I learned so much and even feel confident moving forward. Thank you for this free course. Learned more here and understood every concept better than any YouTube video I've watched. I purchased your paid course, and looking forward to getting started after viewing the content

I've finished this course, I like it, thanks! I make everything with the video in the Roblox. Sometimes it was hard to find the error when my code went wrong, because sometimes the problem was that the script or other object was linked to wrong parent. :) If you are interested in Roblox and you have a little programmer knowledge, I reccomend this course. Thanks the video, it was interesting and I was happy to make a usable program! Nice job!

This was a great introduction to making a game in Roblox. I have an extensive IT background, so I wasn't starting from zero, but I'd never programmed in Lua/Roblox and, frankly, played very little Roblox. In that respect, very much a Roblox noob. My son, a big Roblox fan and a increasingly impressive gamer/designer, kept pushing me to play Roblox and try his games. And then, he wanted me to understand how coding a game in Roblox worked, which is how I found myself here. :-) The course was easy to follow, gave me some great ideas for taking the ideas further (which I did and continue to do) and provided a good dose of inspiration for any future Roblox games I may come up with. Thank you!

The instructor did great job with the time alloted in providing an overview on how to get started creating a games in Roblox. He kept the concepts simple and gave enough info allow futher experimentation. Hope to see more courses from this instructor in the future.
