The need for context applies to coders using the tool, too, Corazza said. That crucial context 'significantly increases the quality of output,' he said. The key to getting usable results for the company's Code Generator Beta, though, was fine-tuning that standard model with code from the Roblox platform itself. But Roblox has taken advantage of advances in natural language code generation that have rolled out in just the last few weeks. AdvertisementĬorazza said that, just four months ago, it wasn't clear that this tool would work well enough for a public release today. In an example Corazza presented at the conference, a user could ask the system to 'make orb turn red and destroy after 0.3 seconds when player touches it.' The system then generates a seven-line Lua function that does just that, based on a coder-defined orb object provided earlier in the code.Īnother prompt for a function to 'create a 3 by 3 grid of orbs around orb' similarly generates a few lines of code to place a small grid of those objects in the game scene. The release of the Roblox Code Assist beta Monday morning certainly seems to have the potential to let users create simple code snippets with a minimum of effort. Head of Roblox Studio Stef Corazza told a packed audience at the conference that the release is a major step toward 'democratizing' game creation, taking it from 'the hands of the skilled few' and giving it to people 'who were blocked by technical hurdles but had a great idea' that they were previously unable to express without highly specialized skills.
