❔ Visual Studio Code being weird.
I just got back into coding using Visual Studio Code and I do a test to see if there's any extensions I need to install for C# is it something I did wrong because I click run and nothing comes out of the output. Am I using the wrong language?

What extension are you using? Is it the "C# Devkit"?
if not, thats the one you want
Ok ill see
Yes I have DevKit installed
Do I need to uninstall "C# Godot"?
I dunno. I don't use VSC myself
Do you have a project?
Ah yes, it looks like you opened just a .cs file
I.e. did you open a folder with a csproj file in it?
C# is project based, you need to open the project
Omfg im so dumb

Also, you should really be using Visual Studio and not Visual Studio code if you are still learning C#. Visual studio Code is not beginner friendly for exactly reasons like this.
But in short you need to add a
.vscode/launch.json and .vscode/tasks.json files in the root of your folderUnknown User•13mo ago

please clone the entire repo of
dotnet-console-games rather than copy out the code one file at a time. if you clone the entire repo and open it you will see:
all the games in the debug drop down
you are probably missing
"console": "externalTerminal", in your launch.json
and that is why it may not be running the game
yep you need
"console": "externalTerminal",
The Visual Studio Code debugger is trashi can tell
open your
launch.json file and add "console": "externalTerminal",
that will tell Visual Studio Code to launch the app in an external console window rather then the internal debuggerUnknown User•13mo ago

This was a funny read
Visual Studio Code is just a nightmare for new devs trying to learn C#... 😦
i do not think that is true
i think it was just severely overcomplicated
