==Hello World==
 
The language I'm teaching you is called ''Lua''. A tradition of programming languages is to start off the learner with a ''Hello World'' program. So what is a ''Hello World'' program? It is a program that writes the words "Hello World" to the [[Output|output]]. Here it is in Lua:
{{Example|{{Code and output|code=
print("Hello World")
|output=
Hello World
|fit=output}}}}
 
Ta-da! For now and the rest of the tutorial, that box on the left is the output. Keep that in mind. [[Function_Dump/Core_Functions#print_.28.C2.B7.C2.B7.C2.B7.29|Print]] is our function for writing to the output. When we want to print string literals (words, like ''Hello World'') to the output, we '''must''' put them in quotes. Here's another example:
 
{{Example|{{Code and output|code=
print("Hi Newcomer!")
|output=
Hi Newcomer!
|fit=output}}}}

===Character and Notifications===
===Terminology===

|[[File:Avatar_Notifications.png|frame|A picture of [[My_Character|your character]] with system notifications beneath it.]]
|}


There are three terms I want you to know before we continue:
===Best Friends===
*{{`|code}} refers to '''anything''' written in Lua.
{|
*{{`|chunk}} refers to '''one''' line of {{`|code}} in Lua.
|Underneath of your avatar and notification box is your [[Friends#Best_Friends|best friends]] list. Here you can see what your best friends are doing (from their [[My_Home#Status_Update|shout box]]) and whether or not they're online.
*{{`|script}} refers to '''multiple''' {{`|chunk}}s that accomplish a specific task in Lua.
|[[File:Best_Friends.png|frame|This a list of your [[Friends#Best_Friends|best friends]] and their most recent shouts!]]
*{{`|character}} refers to any of the [http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/File:Ascii_Table.png ASCII Values] (numbers, letters, spaces, enter key, down arrow, etc.)
|}


===Comments===
===Status Update===
{|
|You can use this so that people who visit your profile can see what you're up to.
|[[File:Status Update.png|frame|This is the status update bar. People who have you as their [[Friends#Best_Friends|best friend]] will see it on their [[My_Home|home]]!]]
|}


Before I start explaining the stuff you can do in Lua to you, there is something I need to explain to you that I'm going to use a lot in this tutorial: ''Commenting''. Comments are things that are '''not''' executed by Lua. A comment can contain any characters because it doesn't need to be read.  
===Feed===
{|
|Your feed is in the center of the page, just beneath your status update box. Your feed is a way to keep you updated with all of your groups. Every time someone uses the shout box in one of your [[groups]], you're updated here!
|[[File:Feed bar.png|frame|This is for your feed—all of your [[groups]]' shouts go here.]]
|}


====One-Line comments====
===Recently Played Games===
{|
|On the far right is the 'Recently Played Games' box. Your most recently played games can be seen here. If you want a larger list, you can click the '''See More''' button.
|[[File:Recently_Played_Games.png|frame|This is a list of your most recently played [[game]]s.]]
|}


A one-line comment is made with {{`|--}}. It lasts for the rest of the line. Here are some examples:
===Facebook Connect===
{{Example|{{Code and output|code=
{|
print("Hello world") -- This will print Hello world to the output!
|On the far right, underneath of the 'Recently Played Games' box is the Facebook connect box. If you have a Facebook account, you can link it to your ROBLOX account! See [[connecting your account to Facebook]] for more info.
-- I'm invisible! print("Hi"). Hi won't be printed to the output!
|[[File:FacebookConnect_Unconnected.png|frame|Facebook connect. You can use this to link your Facebook account to your [[Roblox|ROBLOX]] account! Your personal info will '''not''' be shared with other users!]]
|output=
|}
Hello world
|fit=output}}}}
 
====Multi-Line Comments====
 
A multi-line comment starts with --[[ and ends with <nowiki>]]</nowiki>. Everything between the opening and the closing is treated as a comment, even if the comment is only in the middle of the line.  
{{Example|{{Code and output|code=
print("Hello World")--[[
I'm a very long comment.
In fact, I last multiple lines.
Should I be discovered, I must… but that won't happen.
]]|output=
Hello World
|fit=output}}}}


''A multi-line comment '''cannot''' be placed inside of a string literal (inside of quotation marks)!'' You must put it elsewhere. Here are more examples:
<!--
{{Example|{{Code and output|code=
{| class="wikitable" style="border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px;"
print("Hello M--[[I'll never be found!]]y Friend!")
|-
--[[They'll never catch me!]]print("HI")
|[[File:Avatar + Notifications]]
|output=
|[[File:Status_Update.png]]
Hello M--[[I'll never be found!]]y Friend!
|[[File:Recently_Played_Games.png|287px]]
HI
|-
}}}}
