Currently working on a project that involves a lot of platforming mechanics.
Here’s some cool clips of them in action :

I made a RichText module that makes it easy to stylize text, and it even includes an iterator for a typewriter effect that doesn’t deform tags or styles. I intend to open source this when I get around to it.

local RichText = require(game.ServerScriptService.RichText)
local button = workspace.Baseplate.BillboardGui.TextButton
local text1 = RichText.new("Hello there!",{
font = {
face = "PermanentMarker";
size = 48;
};
}):strikethrough()
local text2 = RichText.new("This is a test.",{
font = {
face = "FredokaOne";
size = 36;
};
bold = true;
})
local text3 = RichText.new("Yeehaw.")
text3:font({
color = Color3.new(0, 0.568627, 1);
size = 64;
face = "SpecialElite";
})
wait(3)
for text in (text1.." "..text2.." "..text3):iterate() do
button.Text = text
wait(0.06)
end

I’ve been working on a benchmarking plugin tool, and it displays the results in a graph (along with some other more detailed values) and I decided to make the graph module open source!
You can read a description and documentation here:
It’s on GitHub as well.

I implemented aforementioned graphing module into a super cool Luau Benchmarker plugin!
What is this plugin?
This plugin helps you easily benchmark & visualize your function’s speed and compare its performance to other functions.
Why use this instead of the microprofiler?
(You should use both.)
- This plugin is much quicker and easier to use than the microprofiler.
- This plugin will display your dataset in a nice graph, which is easier to understand.
- This plugin doesn’t require you to run your whole game, which helps isolate your functions and remove other external factors from impacting results.
- The plugin gives the min, max, and average just like the microprofiler, in addition to the total time taken to run the test.
- This plugin displays the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles which is a far more useful stat than the simple average that the microprofiler gives you. (More detail on that in the video below.)

And here’s a short video demo showing it off:
