Roblox, good or bad for the world of game development?

Theo — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 15:13:33 +0000

If you haven't heard of roblox, you will soon.
It's one of the largest growing video game market sites,
with a 46%* increase in members since last year.

Some stats:

Monthly amount of Roblox engagement: 1.2 billion hours

Roblox's Monthly Active Users was reported to be 100 m in Aug, 2019.

Date	Monthly Active Users
Jan, 2012	7 m
Mar, 2017	48 m
Apr, 2019	90 m
Aug, 2019	100 m

They are becoming more and more promident in the video game market each day but
the question remains:

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for game developers?
And is it the future of making games?

I'll be hiding in the comments, looking forward to your replys!

I myself am a roblox Game Developer (amongst other),
if you have any questions feel free to drop them below!

And as always, Many thanks and happy dev'ing!

Take with a grain of salt. - If anyone can correct me that'd be great.

FizzBuzz challenge in as many languages as possible

Theo — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 21:51:39 +0000

I was recently reading this post inwhich the amazing Ady Ngom was disscussing different ways to solve the common FizzBizz challenge given in interviews and how to refactor and streamline your code.

This gave me an idea.

What if we ask the community here to write their own solution to the FizzBuzz challenge in their given language.

What to do:

--[[
Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100.
But for multiples of three print Fizz instead of the number, 
For the multiples of five print Buzz and for numbers 
which are multiples of both three and five print FizzBuzz
--]]

Rules:

Have fun!
Don't copy others code, keep it unique 👍.
Use this format:

Language: e.g Python
Code:
Other/info: e.g Hia folks, I like cheese.

Lets see how many different languages we can get here!
(You can make it as simple or as complex as you like.)
