Any ROBLOXians on Sup Forums? It's a little known fact that the entire engine is even more Lua scriptable than a game like Gmod. Look up "ROBLOX API class reference" to see the scale of it. It's object-oriented and it has hundreds of instancable objects with thousands of combined properties, events, and methods.
I develop scripting exploits for the game in my spare time and have a blast doing all kinds of outlandish things to servers.

I've been playing since 2008
Yeeah I used to play with friends, It's such a shame that it is coded in LUA.
The game isn't coded in Lua, it's coded in C++. It just allows people to script in the engine with Lua to create any blocky content they want. It's very flexible. I personally love it.

ROBLOX has a bad reputation. I'm not underage, I just don't have a life. There's a small difference.
bump. I expect the bashing because "muh popular opinion that game sucks XD" but I know there are people out there who are into it too. show yourselves and rejoice!
Tell us of the scripting exploits. "How do" and the likes.
Which games on ROBLOX catched your attention?
>try to join a SFOTH server
>Loud music, godded flying exploiters in spheres and repetitive backgrounds
everytime
"How do" is a little hard to sum up, but I"ll try. Using the exploits are much more fun than making them.
Lua has a C-side API creatively called the "Lua C API" where you get to interact with the language in a lower level way by calling C/C++ functions. When a game like ROBLOX sets up a Lua scriptable engine, they're using the C API. That means all the functions are there in the client and there for you to have fun with.
Back in the good old days, all you had to do was inject a DLL, find a function called luaL_loadbuffer (which lets you compile a string into Lua bytecode and turn it into a callable function on the spot), and BOOM you could have fun. But now there are tons of anti-cheating measures and the format of the VM itself is scrambled. The compiler, and functions like loadbuffer, aren't on the client anymore.
There are a lot of ways around this. You can re-make the compiler and modify it so that it generates ROBLOX bytecode, but that's really hard. You can make a wrapper where you re-implement the langauge in your own implemented Lua environment, but that's time consuming.
Whatever you do, there's a really big market for it, and the fun is worth it.
I barely play games just for the sake of it anymore, but there are TONS of amazing ones with mature communities buried under the most popular ones. You just have to go out of your way to look for them. What kind of games are you into?

Thats a pretty shitty fake image
Also I used to play roblox but from the looks of it its shit because they removed tix and the entire front page is now just copies of gmod/source engine games
>re-implement the langauge in your own implemented Lua environment
To clarify I just mean your own Lua wrapper over over the real ROBLOX API and all of its objects/variables. The language is open source, so it wouldn't make sense to remake it
Thats why you have to dig deeper to have fun
What are some hidden mature fun Roblox games then?
I can't list them all but here are my favorites:
- The Conquerers 3 by BrokenBone: Not extremely hidden, but still great. It's a little hard to get into but it's an amazing strategy game
- Strife! by Fenrier: Its community is terrible, but it's a well-balanced class based fighting game with incredible visuals and diverse gameplay
- Legendary by pa00: Literally just dark souls PvP
- Tradelands by Nahr_Nahrstein: Ship building PvP & trading game. Really in-depth player-run political system, plenty of roleplay but filled with a nice virtual economy and solid mechanics
- Apocalypse Rising Gusman: Another popular game, not the best community, but it's a good hardcore zombie survival game
- surf/bhop by Quaternions: Literally just CS:GO surfing and bhoping

The Conquerers 3 is like The Conquerers too, but way better, and way more variety. Try it its fun :p

I've always had fun with Galleons and Armored/Urban Patrol even if they're not incredibly complex
Those are classics, they barely work anymore but they were a blast
