Originally made for Pirate GameJam 15.

Required toolset:

• .Net 8.0 (or newer)
• Godot 4.2.2 (or newer) with C# support
• IDE to work with C# code: VS Code + C# extension or Visual Studio 2022 or Jetbrains Rider.

File layout

• .vscode - VS Code IDE team-shared configuration.
• code - Code that is global / not specific to a scene.
• resources - assets (textures, audio) wrapped into tres files, ready to directly use in scenes.
• scenes - Game scenes:
  • ui - UI scenes (menu / HUD);
  • props - placeable objects in the world (movable / static);
  • world - world levels;
  • characters - playable and non-playable characters.
• assets - Raw resource files (png, jpeg, mp3, ...).

Configure VS Code to be default script editor

Go to Editor menu and open Editor settings....

Find section Text editor, open subsection External.

1. Select Use external editor;
2. Provide a path to VS Code executable (for me, it is D:/Program Files/vscode/Code.exe, depends on where you have installed it);
3. Provide execution flags for VS Code: {project} --goto {file}:{line}:{col}.

(For other IDEs execution flags see this page)

Done. Now when you open text files in Godot, it will automatically launch VS Code and open the file.

Configure VS Code to show context help for .gdscript and other files

Install VS Code extension godot-tools.

Also, I recommend installing every recommended extension as well, see Recommended tab in Extensions menu in your VS Code. There are some that were recommended by me, see file .vscode/extensions.json. They also should be highlighted as "recommended" to you.
