All right, so today I'm going to get a Roblox account, download Roblox studio and start making games.
So we're going to go to WW W dot Roblox dot com.
You're going to get this page right here.
If you don't have an account, fill in this information, right?
If you do have an account, go to log in.
I have an account.
Right.
And mine is Imtech nitro one.
So I'm going to log in.
Boom.
Cool.
Now, whether you create an account or you just logged in, you should get a page like this home page.
Right.
And then we have these tabs up here.
I want to go to create.
Right, because I need to get Roblox studio to create create games.
So we have this button here.
It says Start creating, click that.
Now it's going to download Roblox studio on your computer if you already have it, it's just going to
open it, right?
So you don't have to worry about getting like a whole bunch of different copies of Roblox Studio.
Now mine has a black background.
Yours will probably have a light one.
I will show you how to configure that and change that, but for now all the functionality is going to
work for your light background.
Just follow along and then we will change that.
All right, so here we have these tabs.
I have a new tab here that's to create a new game.
Right.
These are your games that you have created recent games.
And then if you don't want a game, you can archive it.
And I'm going to focus on this, these three templates actually, this one in particular, flat terrain.
These are empty.
These templates you can open up and you get a world that you can modify, right?
It's already got stuff in it.
Feel free to play around with it, but we want to build from scratch.
So let's go to this flat terrain.
Right?
Flat terrain.
Cool.
And we get this kind of a grassy flat terrain.
You may have these windows.
You may not.
You probably don't have this one right here.
You can get all of your windows.
I'm going to get rid of them so that you can see you can get all those windows through The View tab.
You probably don't know what those windows are if you're just starting out.
But that's all right.
I'll explain them.
One of them.
You got to make sure you have that view tab there.
Make sure you click.
It is the Explorer window that's got all the stuff that's in your game, right?
Workspace is all the stuff that you can see except for your camera.
You're looking through it and then you have properties, right?
Properties describes a particular thing that you click on in the Explorer or in your game.
Let's click on terrain, right?
If it's closed, you can hit this little arrow and open it up, right?
Then you see this terrain.
You may have baseplate.
That's okay.
You won't be behind.
And I'm going to get rid of decoration.
See, decoration is is a property of terrain.
Boom, gone cool beans.
All right.
And then what happens if you do this by accident?
Are Oh, no, what do I do?
What do I do?
Right.
You can anchor these windows like if you get it up here or something like that.
Oh, bummer.
You might might want it like mine, at least until you get kind of familiar with it.
There we go.
Cool.
So you can move them around by that by getting that top bar right there.
I hate it when they move around or when they disappear, but if they disappear, remember view explorer
properties.
Cool beans.
Let's go ahead and get a part.
So I'm at The View tab.
I want to go all the way over here to the home tab, cool beans and then part.
I get that little arrow that's coming down and out a sphere.
All right, now, how did I look around like this?
I'm holding the right mouse button down while I'm doing it.
If I want to scroll in, I can use the wheel, right?
If you don't have the wheel or you want a finer level of granularity of movement, you hit the W key
that kind of zooms in.
I'm using my right mouse button as key goes back a goes the left goes to the right.
You get the idea.
Now let's check our little game.
We have a game with a part in it that happens to be a ball.
So hit play.
And now we got a little guy.
Look at that.
A lot of stuff built in, and that ball is really far away.
I should have made it closer.
Let's do that.
Let's stop the game.
Cool.
And where will we land?
We'll land close to.
This is an X, Y and Z coordinate system.
Let's change our position of our ball.
See that position.
I selected the part.
I went down to position right here.
We got these numbers, we could open it up.
I know that's a little hard to see, so I'll read it out.
So we got position.
If you hit that arrow, you got X, Y, you've got a, Z, X and Z are where it is on the map, right
where the part is on the map.
Y is up and down.
That's the height.
So let's change the X instead of I have it at 57, let's change it to zero.
Whoops, I made it one zero.
And on the Z.
Zero.
Cool.
And that is where we will enter the world.
Let's do it again.
And don't worry, I'm going to expand on this stuff.
Look at that.
We landed right in the ball and we can kind of move that ball around.
It's not anchored.
A lot of physics already built in.
I think that's pretty cool.
If you want to jump spacebar, if you want to run like I'm running, that's a you can do the arrow keys
to SW you turn around a you go Oh I'm a W as forward A is to the left and then D is to the right.
I'll put those in the descriptions.
Cool beans.
All right, let's say we got this great game.
Now, how do we save it?
Maybe we want to continue with it later.
Maybe we want to share it with your friends, but it's not quite ready, so we don't want to make it
public.
Let's go to file.
All right.
You see this?
Save to file and save to file as that will store this game on your computer.
But it's better to store it in Roblox.
So you have saved a Roblox published a Roblox.
These do pretty much the same thing.
I'm going to have published a Roblox.
I'm going to get this crazy window right here.
It's going to give me an option to name it, let's say my first game and you can put a description.
Ball.
Cool.
Team create.
You can check that if you have a team of people that are building something together.
But we don't.
We're a team of one.
Cool.
And then we're going to hit create.
Nice.
All right.
So that is your first game.
It is not public.
If you want to check to see if it's public or private, go back.
Go to this game settings cog.
Remember Home Tab, game settings, click it and go to permissions.
Look at that private.
That's what I want, private.
I'm not ready yet.
My ball game isn't quite there.
Cool.
So now we can go ahead and close roadblock studio if you want, go to file closed and I will continue
with this in the next lecture.
