Roblox Game Creation (Lua Scripting and Monetization)

Tools: Roblox Studio, Lua Debugger.
Materials: Roblox scripting tutorials, in-app building challenges, monetization guides.

Module 1: Introduction to Roblox Studio and Lua Basics

Objective: Familiarize students with Roblox Studio and Lua scripting fundamentals.

This module introduces students to the Roblox platform, its game development tools, and Lua scripting. They will navigate the Roblox Studio interface, create a simple game project, and write basic Lua scripts. Core programming concepts such as variables, functions, loops, and conditional statements will be covered. Hands-on projects include building a simple obstacle course, scripting basic player interactions, and debugging scripts. By the end of this module, students will have created their first mini-game.

Module 2: Intermediate Lua Scripting and Game Mechanics

Objective: Enhance scripting skills and implement core game mechanics.

Students will expand their Lua scripting knowledge by working with tables, dictionaries, and arrays. They will explore Roblox services such as DataStoreService for saving player progress and Players for handling multiplayer interactions. The module covers essential game mechanics, including physics, NPC behavior, audio-visual effects, and GUI customization. Students will also learn game optimization techniques to improve performance. A major hands-on project in this module involves creating a multiplayer game with interactive features, real-time player interactions, and a leaderboard system.

Module 3: Game Monetization and Advanced Features

Objective: Learn to monetize games, implement advanced mechanics, and prepare for publishing.

This module teaches students how to make games profitable using in-game purchases, Game Passes, and virtual economies. They will create an in-game shop system, implement a custom currency, and design an achievement system to enhance player engagement. Additional advanced features covered include GUI scripting for interactive menus, custom animations, and avatar customization. Students will learn best practices for updating games without disrupting players and effective marketing strategies to promote their games on Roblox. The final lessons guide students through the process of publishing their games and exploring freelancing opportunities as a Roblox developer.

Assignments and Additional Features
