Small Gameplay Loops in Luau

How I think about short, repeatable loops for Roblox prototypes.

Good Roblox prototypes usually have a small loop that can be understood quickly: act, receive feedback, improve, repeat.

Keep the Loop Tiny

For early prototypes, I try to keep the first loop small:

  1. Give the player one clear action.
  2. Show immediate feedback.
  3. Reward progress.
  4. Unlock one next choice.
