Why a Luau client at all?

Roblox sandboxes the network heavily. HttpService is the only outbound channel, and it’s restricted to server scripts. That means every auth flow has to be brokered through the server — there is no “client SDK” in the browser sense.

Token storage

Tokens live in DataStoreService keyed by UserId. Refresh happens lazily on the first authenticated call after expiry, with a small jitter so we don’t stampede the refresh endpoint.

What’s next

• Realtime subscriptions over WebSocket
• Storage uploads via signed URLs
• A typed query builder that mirrors the JS client

Stay tuned — the next devlog will cover the realtime piece.

First window

#include "raylib.h"

int main() {
    InitWindow(800, 450, "Hello Raylib");
    SetTargetFPS(60);

    while (!WindowShouldClose()) {
        BeginDrawing();
            ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);
            DrawText("Hello, Waffle!", 280, 200, 20, DARKGRAY);
        EndDrawing();
    }

    CloseWindow();
    return 0;
}

That’s it — build, run, and you should see a small window with your first message rendered. From here you can iterate quickly into sprites, input handling and physics.
