I made a PlayOnLinux script for Roblox.

It took a lot longer than I thought to make it, but now it works!

Since both the Gecko browser and the IE6 browser mess up in Roblox, the app asks you for a usrename, password, and place id as a work around. It does not use the POL_SetupWindow_make_shortcut function.

I see this script was coded six years ago. Anyone have luck with this now (2016)? What version of wine should be used in POL for Roblox?
