  • I think this series is completely underrated. These videos are so good. Thank you for putting the time in to educate people :)

    It’s been a few months since I did some Lua for a game I’m making in Roblox studio and this is such a good refresher on terms and functions within the language and how they all interact. You rock!

    Thanks for another awesome vid! Really becoming a highlight of my week. I do have a question, though it isn't really related to this episode. I know that programs can be transferred via floppy disks, which I kind of know how to do if I mess with it long enough and use the right curse words, and I know that computers can talk to each other over rednet, which again I can half-ass pull off with enough attempts and an even more refined collection of curse words, but what I cant figure out is if it is possible to transfer programs over rednet. I do love a challenge though. lol

    wait what about other data types such as floats, doubles, objects, char, array, dictionary, enums, etc
  • is there anyway to export/import code? Like if i were to write out a program in a editor (Sublime for me) can put that into the computers?
