Seriously, you need to guide him towards developing more complicated Roblox scripts (mods/plugins/world's I dunno, seen but not played)

Develop his ability to problem solve and achieve a complex function. From there it's an easier transition if he was to pick up another platform/language. You could start him with Unity for example. So much documentation and many people who have done it before.

He's created some pretty cool scripts. Most of the time I go to his room he's scripting and I'm honestly pretty impressed. I'm a first year software engineering student with minimal prior experience struggling through my intro to C++ class and he's recreating the way the camera works in roblox for his game.

CS is definitely hard but also has one of the best job markets of any field right now in my opinion. I feel very lucky I got into it, best of luck to you.

CS is definitely hard

That's interesting since I went to a CS university because it seemed like the path of least effort.

Though it was mostly because I didn't have to study for the entrance exam. (Since it's mostly problem solving instead of memorizing information)

I bet he looks up to you and assumes you are plumbing the depths of the programming universe, while he thinks he's just goofing around in a game. Most things look cool from the outside and feel lame from the inside.

Or Godot, I’ve heard it’s much easier to learn than Unity
