Configure your editor
Some helpful settings and extensions to make game development more easier.
VS Code
🔧 1. Enable Auto Save on onFocuseChange
.
Settings / User tab / Text Editor / Files / Auto Save - onFocuseChange
🔧 2. Enable Auto Reveal on File open, this is optional.
Settings / User tab / Features / Explorer / Auto Reveal - true
This means each time you open a file, the left EXPLORER panel will scroll to focus file name.
🔑 3. Setup(unlock) Python program launch button
To run Python program in our universal code editor VS Code
, we'll need create a launch.json
file to let vscode know where to find our Python intepreter to run python code. This step would be covered in Setup & First Game.
🔑 4. Setup(unlock) Lua program launch button
Like the Python program launch button, we also need a Lua program launch button. We achieve this by installing a VSCode called love2d-made-easy. This step would be covered in Setup & First Game.
