Mince & Chop: A Unified Roblox Studio Workflow
Mince provides granular control over where and when your code runs. Paired with Chop, it creates a complete, modern development workflow entirely within Roblox Studio, eliminating the need for external tools and filesystem syncing for features like unit testing and integrated intellisense.
Mince: The Framework
Mince is a game framework for Roblox, providing solutions for common development challenges like networking and code organization. Its key differentiator is its modular design; most features are delivered as optional addons, allowing you to build an ultra-lightweight framework containing only the functionality you need, while also being able to cover a lot of different needs.
Chop: In-Studio Tooling
Chop provides the debugging, performance analysis, and intellisense that you’d expect from a professional IDE, but fully integrated into Roblox Studio. Write unit tests, get smart autocompletion, and analyze performance without ever leaving the environment.
A Cohesive Workflow
Together, Mince and Chop create a development ecosystem. Mince provides the foundation for your game’s architecture, while Chop gives you the tools to build and iterate on it with confidence. This eliminates the common pains of Roblox development, like managing external script files or lacking modern testing and debugging capabilities.
