Codificación Lua de Roblox: nivel intermedio uno

Welcome to "Roblox Lua Coding - Intermediate Level One ". 

This course is intended for learners with 6 or more months of computer programming/coding and game design experience with Roblox Studio. 

Upon enrollment, a prerequisite assessment "game" and a practice video will be sent to make sure students meet the requirements for class.  
This course is not project based. This course is 100% about Roblox Lua.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites include: 
Here are examples of scripts students should be able to write without use of the toolbox.
Coding example 1: Use a script and a REMOTE function that will destroy a part when a character steps on it. A REMOTE function.

Coding example 2:
Write a script that causes a text label to appear on the screen.

Coding Example 3: 
Write a script that spawns parts when you click a button.
--------------------------------------------------------------
How is Intermediate level different from Beginner Level?
- More challenging code. The code reviewed at the intermediate level require more steps.
- More collaboration between learners. 
- More use of view tab features such as Output and Script Analysis
- Greater emphasis on debugging and troubleshooting
- more classroom engagement outside of class (discussion topics will be posted weekly to confirm understanding). 
-------------------------------------------------------------
Learners will be expected to type their own script/code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is pair programming every week in class as well as outside of class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 1: Conditional Statements
Conditional statements are commonly used in coding to create dynamic gameplay. We will review basic conditional statements and how they are used in Roblox games. Students will be in small groups to practice. A discussion post will be listed as well to reinforce the information.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weeks 2 and 3: Functions
Week 2 and Week 3 will focus exclusively on functions. It will include creating functions (anonymous ones as well as functions that are not anonymous). Remote and Non remote. This includes calling functions and reviewing proper syntax and structure. Supplemental videos will be posted in the classroom to reinforce this topic. 

Week 4: Arrays

Weeks 5 and 6:
Services
We discuss services and their use in Roblox games. Learners will write code that require they use services other than Workspace. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weeks 7, 8, and 9 - User Interface Design (Intermediate)
Students at this level know how to add text and images to their games. Here in intermediate level, the focus on adding functionality to GUI. This could be for the purpose of a shop or a game badge, or something similar. 

Weeks 10 and 11 : Pair Programming and Troubleshooting - Learners will work in small groups to complete coding exercises that reinforce information taught earlier in the course. This will incorporate use of script analysis and output. These week are designed to challenge students to fix not only their own code, but the code of others. This is meant to encourage cleaner and more effective coding and increase the use of comments. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 12 -
Students are able to share their designs with the class and test out their games.
