As we speak we’re going to take a look at not one, however two totally different options to embedding Visible Studio Code contained in the Godot sport engine. Each tasks take massively totally different approaches however roughly accomplish embedding the favored IDE within the Godot sport engine.
Gonuts/godot_vscode_ide
The primary answer is supplied presently as a customized fork on the Godot sport engine referred to as Gonuts. A part of this fork is the addition godot_vscode_ide. The strategy taken right here is to allow a WebView contained in the Godot sport engine. Then inside that WebView an occasion of the net model of Visible Studio Code is loaded. On first use you have to 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 an almost full model of Visible Studio Code operating in Godot with minimal influence. 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, make sure you drop him a star on Github and if in case you have any suggestions, hop on their Discord server (linked under).
If you will examine this out, the best method is to presently construct the Gonuts fork. When doing this make sure you run the command:
git clone –recursive –department gonuts https://github.com/appsinacup/gonuts.git
This may deliver down the correct department and ensure all of the submodules are correctly resolved.

Projekt J.E.N.O.V.A
This one could sound acquainted to a lot of you, as we coated this spectacular challenge up to now. Undertaking J.E.N.O.V.A is an formidable challenge to deliver C++ scripting to the Godot sport engine, in the same method to C# and GDScript. It’s described as:
Projekt J.E.N.O.V.A is a complete sequence 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 the usage of trendy C++ 20/23 requirements throughout the Godot Engine, just like GDScript/C#.
Through the use of Jenova Framework you possibly can simply program your total sport or utility in C/C++ with none points. You may also combine OpenCV, CUDA, Vulkan, OpenMP and every other trendy C++ options seamlessly, All supported by the highly effective backend.
The most important 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 improvement surroundings for Godot constructed on VSCode Core and engineered for deep integration and modular management.
It is a rather more invasive process but in addition leads to an precise model of Visible Studio Code operating aspect Godot with out requiring a community connection.
