Recap — everything you've built

This is the last review before the big build. In one line, you went from "what is the Explorer?" to a published game with a secure economy that saves across sessions. Let's name exactly what you assembled — because the final project asks you to rebuild it, on purpose, bigger.

#The pipeline

Every system you built is one connected flow:

a player does something, the server decides what it means, the data changes, and the player sees it.

Click → RemoteEvent → server verifies → leaderstats changes → FireClient → screen updates. That loop is 90% of every Roblox game ever made.

#The three pillars

Check any game you can trust against these:

1. Server authority — rewards, money, and purchases are decided by the server.
2. Client polish — what the player sees and feels (GUIs, tweens, sound) is client-side.
3. Persistent data — progress outlives the session, keyed per player.

#The debugging habit

When something breaks: read the error (which script, which line), open that line, name the suspicious thing (nil? a string where a number belongs?), add a print above it to see the real values, then change one thing and retest the same way.

#The big build

Everything is warm. Now the final project asks you to assemble it all — server, remotes, modules, data store, client UI, and polish — into one complete game. You've already built every piece. This time you just put them together.
