❔ build a project in c#
In visual studio code im looking for the "Create a Project" to run c# code but im having trouble finding it, I see create new file and create new folder. Following instructions from a book but the images do not match to what I see in front of me.

Your book probably covers Visual Studio, not visual studio code.
Ohhh i think ur right it doesn't say code after it
Guess I'm returning this to the library lol
or you download visual studio?
its free, after all.
and better for C# than VSC
Yeah but I was just doing this to get familiar with C# before learning unity, so its a like is it necessary to download a whole other application that im not even gonna use...idk ill think about it but thank you for coming because I would not hav realized there were 2 things with the same name
u would use visual studio for unity as well
So visual studio code is the one who's not needed?
ye
You can use either. But VS will be nicer.
Ahhh okay
Visual Studio and JetBrain's Rider are full fledged IDEs, Visual Studio Code is "just" a fancy text editor with extensions to get close to IDEs
also im not sure if there is still a maintained unity extension for vsc, iirc unity itself dropped it some months ago - but im not really following that
Yeah, Unity Unity'd the extension
But a new one was made
So let's hope this one doesn't get Unity'd
Is that why I had to download so many extensions i was wondering 🤔
Yes
VS Code is barebones, most functionality comes from plugins
Okay then ill check out visual studio tomorrow ✨
