Build the Ultimate Mt Kenya Obby
Your child builds an obstacle course game in Roblox that follows the real Naro Moru route up Mount Kenya, from the farmland at the gate to Point Lenana, past thorn bushes, a bog, spinning branches, scree slopes and a glacier. Over 13 live online sessions they write the scripts that make it work in Lua, test every jump, fix what is too hard, and learn to tidy many copied scripts into one. They finish with a game friends can play and can explain every line. Best after Build Your First Roblox World. Needs a Windows or Mac computer (not a tablet or Chromebook), a steady internet connection and a Roblox account made by a parent.
Can follow a lesson and type comfortably
What you'll learn
- Script a part's behaviour in Lua and respond to a Touched event
- Build a checkpoint system that never sends a player backwards
- Move a platform smoothly with a loop and rotate a part with CFrame
- Tell what the player sees (Transparency) from what the game does (CanCollide)
- Replace many copied scripts with one tag-driven script and explain why that is better
- Playtest every jump and publish safely within the platform's age rules
The course journey
What your child will explore
Follow the course from the first idea to the finished project.
Chapter 02Build the Mountain
Run the build script and the whole 34-part course appears; why a readable script beats a sealed file.
Chapter 03Kill Bricks
The first per-part script: a leg touching it ends the run, a rock touching it does nothing.
