Overview

Roblox is a free virtual MMOG building game designed for kids[1]. The game is made up of building bricks of various shapes and sized.. Unlike other games Roblox has no pre-defined goals and players are allowed to build anything such as houses, churches, or cities, and code with an easier to use version of Lua. ROBLOX has become part of the TrustE program[2]. Roblox is a learning tool as well as an online game. They achieve this in the use of Lua 5.1 used throughout the game.[3].

Customization

Places

Players in Roblox have the ability to construct up to ten worlds out of an unlimited supply of virtual building blocks[4]. These blocks can be customized to each players liking. Players can earn in-game currency from other users visiting their online world.

Avatars

Players in Roblox are given a virtual avatar that they can customize with new hats, heads, clothes and faces. All of which are available to purchase with Roblox's virtual currency.

Economy

Ways To Earn

Roblox has developed their own virtual economy. Players in Roblox can earn two currencies, Tickets or Robux. Users are awarded these by getting people to visit their virtual places, selling their user made clothes, or by trading their money on Roblox's version of the stock market. Players are also given a login bonus of 10 Tickets or 15 Robux, depending on if they are are paying for Roblox's premium membership service known as Builder's Club.
