Roblox is a gaming website which allows you to play this fascinating game for free. However, unlike many gaming sites where the games are available readily for playing, here the users have to build the game. It basically is for aspiring game developers who are trying their hand at game building. The game building is not complex and does not require special 3D modeling software or use of Photoshop and other software. Everything that is required for building the game is available both for PC and Mac users.
Hence apart from getting to play the best of games, it is the right place to be in for budding game designers. They also can make the best of Roblox tutorials (there are lots of them out there to choose from) and they also can learn how to use screen casts, tutorials and other such aids to get started.
The Main Roblox Tutorial is the Best Place to Start
With the help of the initial Roblox tutorial it is possible to learn how to install the software on to your Max or MS system without too much of botheration. It teaches the beginners how to get started. It goes through a step by step guide including teaching the first timers as to how a new account has to be created. Though creating an account is technically not compulsory it will help you to publish the games once you have created. Further there are also additional features which require creating an account.
Roblox Studio
Once you are registered and get into the process of building your games, you will come across Roblox Studio. Here too you will be guided at each step and will learn to use the Properties and Explorer panels. They might not be visible in some cases and if so you could use the View>Property and also the View>Explorer options so that you are able to make the best use of the Studio facilities which are extremely useful to say the least.
Building The Games
Once you have had some basic information about the studio you can come to the actual part of building the games. You will have to make use of the screen cast to get started with this function. You would do better to watch it a bit and find out how it works. This will help you to get into the actual building part without being confused too much. You will still have hiccups and pitfalls along the way but they will be great fun as you try to overcome the same. It will not be long before you will be able to come out with your own game which certainly will be a great and exhilarating experience.
Programming and Scripting
You also need to some bit of programming and this will help you to get a move on with the games. You have many resources available at your disposal. You could make use of the Roblox wiki. This is a good resource because it is totally under the control of Roblox and they author, edit and maintain the contents. A program language known as Roblox Lua is used. It basically is an easy to learn language and is extremely lightweight.
