Picking up programming and learning it for the first time works just like any other hobbyart, music, sports, photography, etc.although, it may be difficult to know where to start as a beginner, especially if you’ve never had experience with.

I’m sure lots of top games have tens of thousands of lines. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s written in an inefficient way, sometimes you just need a lot of code. I have multiple scripts in my game Obby Creator which are 1000+ lines and in total there is probably around 3000-4000 in the whole game. It’s different for each game so you’ll have to determine if you think it’s an excessive amount of lines or not.

It really depends on what you’re making - if these 700 lines are just handling something small that could be done in < 100 lines, for example, then yeah you could do with reducing the lines so it’s easier to edit in the future - but if it does what you want it to do in 700 lines and you don’t think you could get it much smaller there isn’t really much point. Data structures, such as dictionaries and array store large sets of data, such as items owned by players.Ī more advanced series, learn how to organize code in module scripts, a unique type of script that can interact with other scripts in Roblox Lua.If your code is already relatively efficient, and as long as you can understand the parts of your code so you can make changes in the future, it can be as long as you like.
