Visual Studio Code is massively popular. In the Stack Overflow 2023 Developer Survey, Visual Studio Code was ranked the most popular developer environment tool among 86,544 respondents, with 73.71% reporting that they use it.

Any PlayCanvas developer building directly on top of the Engine will very likely opt to use VS Code. But if you use the PlayCanvas Editor, you will normally rely on the built-in, browser-based Code Editor. Today, we're excited to give you another option by launching an open-source Visual Studio Code Extension for PlayCanvas.

We are nearing completion on transitioning our Code Editor from CodeMirror to Monaco, the powerhouse behind the immensely popular Visual Studio Code.

Look familiar? 👀

We have levelled up the Script Attributes that makes it much easier to organize and group related attributes together.

Today we're excited to unveil the new code editor for all our PlayCanvas users. We've been taking your feedback since we launched Scripts 2.0 last year and we've updated the code editor to make working on scripts in PlayCanvas much easier.

We've just launched "Scripts 2.0", a complete re-design and re-implementation of the scripting system for PlayCanvas applications. Our goals were to fix an array of small irritations that had built up over using the PlayCanvas scripting for the last few years and take the opportunity to clean up the interface and simplify the creation and usage of scripts.

PlayCanvas scripters rejoice! The Code Editor has just received a major upgrade. We have just deployed two new related features:

1. Autocompletion
2. Realtime API reference documentation
