Coding Roblox Games Made Easy

Roblox attracts more than 54 million active players each day, and nearly any kind of experience can be built on the platform. This updated second edition is written for readers of any age who want to make their own game using Luau, the scripting language that powers Roblox.

Across roughly 300 pages, the book starts with the fundamentals of Luau and a tour of the menus in Roblox Studio. Readers then build two complete games from start to finish, add customizations, and learn how to publish them and earn money from them. Along the way, the book explains how real-world physics can be applied inside a game, and it offers ideas for promoting a finished project and for what to learn next.

A closing bonus chapter, "50 Cool Things to do in Roblox", collects short tips with examples on coding, animating, building avatars, spending Robux and more, designed to save time while working. The guide is led by Zander Brumbaugh, a 19-year-old Roblox developer and programmer who shares his own game-development journey with the reader.

The book suits anyone who wants to learn the basics of Luau and Roblox Studio and needs a clear path toward building and sharing games. No previous experience with game development is required.
