-> Create a new script in ServerScriptService, and learn about the data types string, number, and boolean.
-> Use your knowledge of variables and conditional statements to create an obstacle for players to get past in the game.

Loops & Tables
-> Learn to use for loops, and while loops to create endless loops, and combine variables and conditional statements to control which code executes.
-> Learn to create tables, add, remove, and change items in tables using loops and index numbers.
-> Use what you have learned so far to create a set of stairs to the top of a cliff that appears and disappears randomly.

Making Changes in Project

-> Create a button on the lava that simulates adding water to cool it, and let the player cross safely, using a SurfaceGui.
-> Create a sign, and use a local script to display a message to the player on the client only using GUI’s and text labels.

Camping Game I
-> Import the campground model into the workspace, and discuss the concept of the game.
-> Create and code a log that the player can pick up multiple times.
->

Camping Game II
