Create and destroy

Learn how to design a multiplayer map for a game in which players destroy cities with laser beams for points. Creating this map is great practice if you want to learn how to build battle royales or other combat games down the road.

Note

A finished version of the game is available at the Create and Destroy Test Map. If you don't have Roblox installed, you can do so by playing the test map.

Download Roblox Studio

You'll need Roblox Studio, which is used to create every game on the Roblox platform and is available free for PC and Mac. We strongly recommend using a 3-button mouse with a scroll-wheel for navigating in 3D space.

Go to the Create page and click the Start Creating button to download Studio.
After installing, double-click the desktop icon (Windows) or click the dock icon (Mac).
On the login screen, enter your Roblox username and password, then click Log In.

Note

If you're new to Roblox and are signing up for the first time, remember these safety tips:

Never share your password, even with a real life friend.
Make your password hard to guess — If your username is "bloxdev," your password should not be "bloxdev123."
Roblox employees will never ask for your password — Report anyone who asks using the Report Abuse feature.
There's no such thing as free Robux — Never trust players or sites who say they have a secret way to get free Robux!
