Connecting a C# script editor

Today's goal is to connect the Visual Studio Code installation from the previous lesson to Unity and prepare a script for movement. First, open Unity.

Open Edit:

Go to Preferences → External Tools → External Script Editor, and choose Visual Studio Code. In the original setup, if the editor is missing, the tutorial asks you to check the extensions installed in lesson 3. In practice, available editor integrations also depend on your Unity version and installed integration packages.

Use the highlighted dropdown arrow to select the editor.

Create the script

In the Project window's Assets area:

1. Right-click and choose Create → Folder.
2. Name the folder Scripts. Another folder name is also fine.
3. Open it and choose Create → C# Script.
4. Rename the new script to Move.

The original introduction mentions writing movement code, but this installment ends after editor integration and script creation. The following lessons explain the script and add movement.
