A structured, project-first track where students blend coding, 3D design, and game design to create and publish complete Roblox games.
For students interested in blending coding, 3D design, and game design, we explore Roblox Studio—a powerful free toolset using the Lua programming language (based on C++). Students progress from guided building to independent game creation: mastering the Studio toolset, practicing code solutions for game features, and publishing complete games. The program combines creative storytelling with practical programming skills so students learn how games actually work.
Students learn the Roblox Studio UI and navigation tools. They practice using movement tools (rotate, scale, place) to create, move, scale, and rotate parts. Students apply basic properties to objects and build their first 3D structure, gaining familiarity with the workspace and essential building controls.
Students build an engaging obstacle course, learning game design principles and playtesting workflow. They create challenging jumps, moving platforms, and hazards while testing gameplay balance. Students learn to iterate on design: building, testing, identifying problems, and making improvements based on player experience.
Students build environmental elements like bridges and terrain features to create immersive game worlds. They modify pre-written scripts to create damage and healing parts, learning how code controls game behavior. Students apply materials and properties to parts, understanding how visual details enhance player experience.
Students create NPC (non-player character) dialogue systems using Roblox's dialog toolset. They build branching dialog trees with multiple conversation paths, create dialog options that lead to different outcomes, and design interactive characters that respond to player choices. Students learn how dialog enhances storytelling in games.
Students create movement keyframes for character rigs using the Animation Editor. They design custom animations (walk, jump, dance, etc.) and learn to apply animations using scripts. Students connect animation systems with game events, making characters move dynamically in response to player actions or game triggers.
Students plan their final game project by defining scope, identifying required features, and organizing build tasks. They select which tools to use (models, scripts, dialog, animations), create asset lists, and outline their game's core mechanics. Students practice breaking complex projects into manageable steps.
Students develop their planned project with instructor support and feedback. They implement features step-by-step, test gameplay mechanics, troubleshoot issues, and refine their game based on playtesting. Focus is on applying all learned skills (building, scripting, dialog, animation) into one cohesive game experience.
Students publish their games to Roblox and present final projects to classmates. They demonstrate gameplay, explain features implemented, share their creative process, and discuss challenges overcome. Students learn to invite collaborators and share projects via the Roblox web app so friends and family can play their games.
Students learn fundamental Lua syntax: comments, print statements, variables, data types, and basic operators. They build a survival game that uses loops to create repeating events and implement a scoring system. Students understand the parent/child object structure in Roblox and practice writing clean, readable code with proper formatting.
Students implement conditional logic using if/else statements to create different game outcomes. They add win/lose conditions, check player states, and create branching gameplay based on player actions. Students learn to use comparison operators (==, >, <, etc.) and logical operators (and, or, not) to build complex game rules.
Students modify object properties through code (color, size, transparency, position). They use OnTouch events combined with conditions to create interactive game elements: parts that change when touched, trigger zones, and dynamic environmental responses. Students learn how to reference and manipulate game objects programmatically.
Students create reusable code logic by writing custom functions. They learn function parameters, return values, and how to organize code into modular, maintainable blocks. Students refactor repeated code into functions, improving code efficiency and readability. Practice includes creating utility functions for common game tasks.
Students build custom GUI elements: frames, buttons, labels, and text inputs. They add button interactions that trigger code, create responsive layouts, and display variable values (score, health, timer) on screen. Students learn to make interactive UI that enhances player experience and provides essential game feedback.
Students plan features for their Level 2 game using all learned systems (Lua syntax, conditions, properties, functions, UI). They identify required code sections, outline feature implementation steps, and propose new mechanics that combine multiple programming concepts. Students practice scoping projects realistically based on time and skill level.
Students develop their planned game, implementing features using Lua programming. They debug code errors, test game logic, refine mechanics based on playtesting, and add polish. Focus is on writing functional code, solving programming challenges independently, and creating a complete game experience with custom scripts.
Students present their games and explain the code solutions they created. They demonstrate implemented features, walk through key scripts, explain how their code works, and discuss technical challenges solved. Students practice communicating programming concepts clearly and receive feedback on both game design and code quality.
Students design a custom game from scratch, proposing an original concept with clear goals and target audience. They create a comprehensive project plan identifying required tools, features, and technical challenges. Students justify their design choices, explain why their game will be engaging, and define constraints (scope, time, technical requirements).
Students begin building their custom game, establishing core mechanics and foundational systems. They break features into specific tasks, prioritize implementation order, and create the basic game structure. Focus is on building strong foundations: clean code organization, modular design, and tested core functionality before adding complexity.
Students expand their game with additional features and begin integrating systems (UI, scripting, animations). They test feature interactions, debug integration issues, and refine game balance. Students apply prior workflows: iterative development, systematic testing, and making incremental improvements rather than adding everything at once.
Students add advanced features and polish to their games: visual effects, sound, advanced UI, complex game logic, and player progression systems. They focus on feature completion over feature quantity, ensuring each implemented mechanic works properly and enhances the player experience. Students practice time management and feature prioritization.
Students perform comprehensive playtesting and quality assurance. They identify bugs, fix errors, optimize performance, and improve user experience based on testing feedback. Students refine game balance, adjust difficulty curves, enhance visual consistency, and prepare their game for public release.
Students complete final implementation tasks, addressing remaining bugs and adding final polish. They optimize scripts for better performance, improve visual presentation, ensure all features work correctly, and prepare showcase materials. Students create game descriptions, screenshots, and presentation notes explaining their work.
Students share projects with classmates and receive structured feedback. They playtest each other's games, provide constructive criticism on game design and technical implementation, and suggest improvements. Students practice giving and receiving professional feedback, learning to evaluate games from both player and developer perspectives.
Students present their final games to classmates, instructors, and invited guests. They reflect on their build process: features implemented, code solutions created, progress over time, challenges overcome, and lessons learned. Students demonstrate mastery of Roblox Studio, Lua programming, game design principles, and project management skills.
