This code creates a day-night cycle in a Roblox game, toggling between daytime and nighttime every 5 minutes. Here's a breakdown of what it does:

1. Service Reference:
   The Lighting service is accessed from the game using game:GetService("Lighting"). This service controls the environmental lighting in the game.

2. Configuration: A constant DAY_LENGTH is defined as 300 seconds (representing 5 minutes).

3. Variables:

   • startTime stores the timestamp (tick() returns the current time in seconds as a UNIX timestamp) when the script starts.
   • isDay (initially true) tracks whether it is currently daytime.

4. Function: updateTimeOfDay:

   • The function calculates the time elapsed since startTime.
   • If the elapsed time has exceeded DAY_LENGTH (5 minutes), it resets startTime to the current time (tick()), and toggles the isDay variable. This effectively switches between day and night modes.
   • If it's daytime (isDay is true), the Lighting.TimeOfDay is set to 12 (noon).
   • If it's nighttime (isDay is false), the Lighting.TimeOfDay is set to 0 (midnight).

5. Loop:

   • The while true loop continuously calls the updateTimeOfDay function every second (wait(1)), keeping the day-night cycle running indefinitely.

Summary:

The code alternates the lighting settings between daytime (noon) and nighttime (midnight) in a Roblox game, with each phase lasting 5 minutes. This creates a dynamic 10-minute day-night cycle.
