Right this moment we’re going to have a look at not one, however two totally different options to embedding Visible Studio Code contained in the Godot sport engine. Each initiatives take massively totally different approaches however kind of accomplish embedding the favored IDE within the Godot sport engine.
Gonuts/godot_vscode_ide
The primary answer is offered at the moment as a customized fork on the Godot sport engine known as Gonuts. A part of this fork is the addition godot_vscode_ide. The method taken right here is to allow a WebView contained in the Godot sport engine. Then inside that WebView an occasion of the web model of Visible Studio Code is loaded. On first use you will have to log in, and sadly many Visible Studio Code extensions aren’t out there within the on-line model, however aside from these two limitations, you get a virtually full model of Visible Studio Code operating in Godot with minimal impression. The writer is creating it as a C++ module for now (thus the Gonuts challenge), however sooner or later he intends to show it right into a GDExtension, which is able to make it a lot simpler to get it up and operating.
If you need to see this challenge proceed, remember to drop him a star on Github and if in case you have any suggestions, hop on their Discord server (linked under).
If you’ll test this out, the best method is to at the moment construct the Gonuts fork. When doing this remember to run the command:
git clone –recursive –department gonuts https://github.com/appsinacup/gonuts.git
This can deliver down the correct department and ensure all of the submodules are correctly resolved.

Projekt J.E.N.O.V.A
This one might sound acquainted to a lot of you, as we coated this spectacular challenge prior to now. Undertaking J.E.N.O.V.A is an formidable challenge to deliver C++ scripting to the Godot sport engine, in an analogous method to C# and GDScript. It’s described as:
Projekt J.E.N.O.V.A is a complete collection of elements for the Godot Engine increasing its capabilities with cutting-edge applied sciences. It introduces fully-featured C++ scripting throughout the Godot Editor and permits using trendy C++ 20/23 requirements throughout the Godot Engine, just like GDScript/C#.
By utilizing Jenova Framework you’ll be able to simply program your complete sport or software in C/C++ with none points. It’s also possible to combine OpenCV, CUDA, Vulkan, OpenMP and another trendy C++ options seamlessly, All supported by the highly effective backend.
The main distinction from after we coated it again in 2024 is the addition of the Jenova Code IDE, described as:
Jenova Code IDE: A full-spectrum built-in growth surroundings for Godot constructed on VSCode Core and engineered for deep integration and modular management.
It is a way more invasive process but in addition leads to an precise model of Visible Studio Code operating aspect Godot with out requiring a community connection.
