Choose an IDE

An IDE is basically a piece of software designed for writing code. When you install Unity it will prompt you to install VisualStudio which will get the job done, but we recommend (and personally use) the following set of tools to supercharge your Lua scripting in Offgrid:

Visual Studio Code (not to be confused with Visual Studio!)

Visual Studio Code

VSCode Extensions

Extensions are tools that help you debug, autofill and generally improve your coding experience. To add extensions go to View/Extensions or press CTRL+SHIFT+X to bring up the extension window or navigate to the links below.
