[@midge_gender_solek3314]

In my experience, absolute most problems in game optimisation have nothing to do with "bad code" per se (unnecessary loops and inefficient ways of referencing things) and everything to do with drawing too much, moving too much, generally doing too much stuff every frame. Devs sometimes really need to drop their inner C coder when working with modern engines, at least as a beginner it helped me to focus on avoiding spaghetti code first and foremost

[@adrianle3]

It's crazy to think that coding makes people say the most diabolical things if taken out of context "If you touch this part, you explode and earn a point" "I'm gonna immediately pair it to a child which is the player"

[@connecting7161]

[@InvisibleSquids]

I have a project that took a map, wrote a script that would look at the position, rotation, color, and size of every object, then generate a script that would delete the entire world only to build it back. It would freeze for a solid two minutes, the world would vanish, then freeze for another two minutes as it built the world back.... Ended up being around 280k lines long in the end.... This was around 11 years ago though, so theres a good chance the project got nuked

This reminds me in the old version on noob adventure (my game) I wanted to have a bounce effect, but the bounce effect wouldnt stay in one place when the effect was emitted. So instead of just unchecking the LockedToPart vatiable I made a scrip that creates a part sets the pose of the part to the hrp set the parent to workspace and then cloned the effect and put thats parent as the part 😭😭

[@Sky_Blue_Crew]

No way ur here too

[@Tealen]

i could see myself doing that a few years back, i was TERRIBLE at optimizing. and i, for so long, instead of using :Emit(1) to make particle emitters emit just 1 particle (to make like an explosion or something), i would make it enabled for 0.1 seconds and disable it right after...

[@RakeV8]

at 7:09 you should have made it loop through the children of Players every 0.5 seconds and keep track of all of them and if any of them are new (not in the table/variables you're storing them in) then it does the function. this works basically the same as PlayerAdded() but it has a delay and it's more laggy

[@geckapus]

After taking my AP Computer Science A Exam this morning, I can certify this is completely acceptable and optimized code.

[@VariantBank]

every time you needed to find a part make a combination of all 10 character letter combinations until it equals the name of the part

[@DefinitelyNotJethro]

7:20 I agree. Roblox told us we can just tell the AI what to do and it'l lwrite the code for us, but instead it just suggests random stuff that we didn't even want. I don't think you can write a prompt to the AI to tell it what to write either

[@Haze_Nexus_real]

you can -- make a script that kills the player in .0001 seconds (insert script here)

[@ninlaw9810]

ai is shit at making code might as well look a tutorial or go on dev forunlm

[@Teroces1Gaming]

Personally my experience with the ai is very good. I usually never pause when writing code, but the few times i do, it sometimes feels like its reading my mind cause it perfectly auto completes. Prob the most impressive examples of this was that the ai was able to finish the rest of my dynamic memory allocator function written in my own customized assembly language (i made a cpu emulator on roblox). It somehow learned the rules of my custom assembly language and even realized the algorithm that i was trying to make (and it did that despite being trained to develop good luau code, not assembly)

[@AndrewRoberts-ty9qy]

Wrote this script (below) to see if I could do the same, basically all it does is look for when the player touches part of yes then fling player, what causes it to be unoptimized is its use of the wait() function, it constantly checking if the part exists and making new body velo instead of reusing the old one. Script: -- Define a function to fling the player function flingPlayer(hit) -- Check if what was touched is a player local character = hit.Parent local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass('Humanoid') if humanoid then -- Create a BodyVelocity object to fling the player local bodyVelocity = Instance.new('BodyVelocity') bodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(math.random(-100,100), math.random(50,100), math.random(-100,100)) bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1e4, 1e4, 1e4) bodyVelocity.Parent = character.HumanoidRootPart -- Wait for a short time and then remove the BodyVelocity object wait(0.5) bodyVelocity:Destroy() end end -- Create a Part in the workspace local part = Instance.new('Part', workspace) part.Size = Vector3.new(10, 1, 10) part.Anchored = true part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0) -- Connect the 'Touched' event of the part to the 'flingPlayer' function part.Touched:Connect(flingPlayer) -- Inefficiently keep checking if the part exists while wait(1) do if not part:IsDescendantOf(workspace) then part = Instance.new('Part', workspace) part.Size = Vector3.new(10, 1, 10) part.Anchored = true part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0) part.Touched:Connect(flingPlayer) end end

[@luh034]

Why would you choose Roblox out of all the amazing Engines out there? I don't get what makes Roblox worth choosing over, say Godot, Unity, Unreal, Unigine, Cryengine or any other big ones out there. Isn't the Roblox engine just more limited, whilst simultaneously having less features and running worse than any of the ones listed above? The only reason I could think of is, that a lot is already pre-made - reducing the amount of development time required, which I somewhat get - but at that point just make a Source mod. Is there something I'm missing??
