Visual Studio Code setup for Space Engineers script development

Here are the steps to set up Visual Studio Code for Space Engineers ingame script development.

This will provide an environment where autocompletion / intelisense and syntax checking work.

• I'll assume you already have SE installed!

• Install Visual Studio Code (VSC)

• Install the following VSC Extensions

  • install c# extension in VSC (OmniSharp)
  • install NuGet Package manager VSC Extension

• install .net cli tools / SDK (needed?)

• install net framwork devpack 4.6.1

  • https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=49978

• Then clone this directory structure.

• If you have a non-standard SE location, change SpaceEngineers.csproj

• 'open folder' (this folder) from VSC.

• copy starter-template.cs to a new file for each script you create

• change the namespace

• Put your code changes between the region tags (see comment in template)
