Roblox Studio Galactic Speedway & Story Games Project (Day 4)

 Today in class I was able to start and complete both Galactic Speedway, and the Story Games project. 

    Starting with the Galactic speedway, the first thing I did was build my own speedster to race with. 

My speedster about 40% built

My complete speedster

The next thing I learned was how to group all the parts of the speedster into one model. To do this, I highlighted all the parts of the speedster, and pressed ctrl + g. Once I had the speedster grouped into a single model, I cut and pasted it into the garage folder in the workspace, where all the speedsters in the game get stored. 

I nicknamed my speedster 'Flash Fire'

Now all that was left was to go into the code and change the values of some properties of the speedster to make it faster/slower, turn speed, and boost speed.

My changes

Once I did that, I completed the whole tutorial. I tested the game and flew around for a bit. 

Story Games Project

The second project I completed was the story games project. In this tutorial, I learned how to create a text story where the player can choose certain aspects of the story. 

    The first thing I did was create a local variable called name1. Then I added a string to the code with parenthesis and asked my first question.

In the actual game, players can give an answer to this question. Their answer will change what happens in the story. 

Next I created a beginning to the story by taking a famous line from a popular book series.

At the end of the code, there is a space after and the variable after the string. Anything the player types in the 1st question will apply here. So if I typed waffles for the first question, the story will say that "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit who was eating waffles. 

Example of this

The last thing that I did was create another question at the starting, asking what the players favorite colour was. Then I created another string to the line of code, which continues the story further. 

Now the player can control two aspects of the story.

The end result

These two challenges helped me learn more about Roblox Studio, like how to group models together, how to create strings in code, and creating variables. Next week, I plan to create and finish the adventure game, then create my own unique game and apply everything that I have learned into it. I'm really excited to learn + create and cant wait for next week!
