About this course
The journey
An obby is the classic first Roblox game, and it teaches almost everything you need: parts and events, players and characters, checkpoints, moving obstacles and saving progress.
You script every piece yourself in Luau, Roblox's version of Lua, and finish with a published game that tracks each player's best time on a leaderboard.

Bought this for my son. He followed it alone, published his obby and now explains DataStores to me at dinner.

Short lessons, visible results, and the leaderboard at the end makes everyone want to finish. We ran it over six sessions.
