The '''Studio''', or '''Roblox Studio''', is the program that ROBLOX games are played with. It also gives you the ability to create your own games, or [[places]]. Using the Studio you can build, [[Scripting|script]], and test places. ROBLOX developers update Studio to add in new features to ROBLOX.
The '''Studio''', or '''Roblox Studio''', is the software used for creating Roblox games. It gives you the ability to build, [[Scripting|script]], and test places all-in-one. Revivals and launchers come with Studio built-in.


ROBLOX Studio was originally programmed for Windows, but recently a version for Macintosh has been introduced.
A MacOS version released in 2011. However, existing launchers and revivals only support the Windows version.
 
==What to use the Studio for==
The Roblox Studio was built to be your all-inclusive [[place]] editing program. Using the Studio you can [[Lua Help|script]], build and test your places all before you show off your place to the rest of the community. If you want to make any kind of changes to your places, then you should use the Studio to make those changes. Rather than playing in Solo mode, using Edit and Studio allows you to edit the place while time is frozen. The map will not run, so scripts will not run early and bricks will not move around while you're trying to work with them. The camera can move around freely so you're not limited to the movements of a character. Serious builders and scripters use Studio in Edit mode.

If you have a studio version of the client you want to use, then open up the RobloxApp.exe file to open studio. If there is a patched .exe file inside of the folder, then open that instead.

==Editor Basics==
Studio will open to a view of the map you opened, along with several panels.
===Window Elements===
====Tabs====
Right below all of the toolbars you'll find the Tabs. These let you move between different windows. When you open a Script it opens up a tab next to the Place tab. You can reorder tabs by clicking and dragging them, and close individual tabs by clicking on the tab, and then clicking the X icon in the right corner of the Tab area.
====Game Window====
This is the main portion of the window, where you can see the 3D view of the level. The camera clips through everything, and the world is paused until you run it. Move the camera with WASD (and in 2012+, Q/E raises and lowers the camera). Use this window to build by moving and selecting objects and parts. When you open a Script, this 3D view is replaced by the Script view.
===Script editor===
If a Script tab is focused, it will replace the Game Window with a simple Lua editor.

====Gear====
If you added tools to the [StarterPack], they may appear in the Game Window just like they do while playing, depending on the version of Studio. These tools will be given to each player in the server every time they spawn in.
====Status Bar====
The status bar is at the very bottom of the window. This gives you information relating to how the game is running. It's mostly program information that you don't need to worry about.
<!----Another cop out. Figure out and explain what is spit out here. --->
====Output Bar====

This is the section of Roblox Studio that displays manually or automatically printed messages.

This is the space where you can see the 3D view of the level. You move bricks around and edit things in this window. When you open a Script, this 3D view is replaced by the Script view.
====Gear====
Inside and in the bottom left corner of the Game Window you will see the Gear list. This lists the different items that are in the [[StarterPack]], which is the set of items each player gets when they enter the server, and when they respawn.
====Status Bar====
The status bar is at the very bottom of the window. This gives you information relating to how the game is running. It's mostly program information that you don't need to worry about.
