Hi, I was wondering where's a good place to start with learning how to connect your Roblox game with another website. I'm looking forward to using this to try and create real time-based events and other stuff, however I'm not sure where to start. I tried looking at some tutorials on Trello, but from what I understood it's not gonna be much help with what I want to do. Anyways, thanks for any advice!

Well, I started coding something, that gives you a random number from RANDOMG. ORG. It's really neat. Then you can try to find some online services that give you stuff.

If you have a server, know HTML, Javascript, PHP Forms. and other Webmaster things you can do. And also know expert lua coding, then you're good to go!

  1. Make a server, that when it receives data from a ROBLOX game server, it shows up the message in the website.

  2. Do 1, but vice versa.

  3. Make a chat program! This can be achived, by two users connected to the server. If Person 1 sends a message, the server sends it to all players in different servers, then posted in the message GUI. This challenge is quite easy. Kind of.

Here's to make your job easier:

PERSON 1 SENDS MESSAGE TO SERVER> SERVER RES> SERVER SENDS MESSAGE TO ALL ACTIVE ROBLOX SERVER> MESSAGE PARSED TO MESSAGE GUI.

  1. Make a storage server! It sends the block propertise and stores it in your server. When the user requests for the block.

    And again, here's to make your job easier:

USER CLICKED SEND BLOCK DATA> SERVER RES> SERVER SAVE BLOCK DATA.

USER CLICK REQ> SERVER SENDS BLOCK DATA> BLOCK RECREATED.

  1. Actually using a large server! Not yours though. Unless you own Twitter.

This one, it's actually hard.

This is the APIs.

Now what you're going to do is, when a person, goes in the website. Enters his/her ROBLOX Username. Then logins to Twitter. It checks if that person follows... Uh... @Loleris for example. If yes, the website generates a code, then that code is sent to all ROBLOX servers. If the user enters the correct code, (s)he gets items!

I have no idea how to make this, but I will give you some links

All right, thank you! I somewhat understand what you mean. Also what are the links? I think your answer got cut off. OneTruePain 191 — 8y

A good place to start is actually understanding web development. If you get how websites work, naturally communicating with them, getting information from them, and giving information to them will all come naturally.

Overarching things to learn:

  • HTML/CSS/JavaScript
  • HTTP Requests (particularly GET and POST)
