## What it is
An official VS Code extension providing Godot Engine development tools, including GDScript language features, a debugger, and support for GDResource and GDShader files. It integrates with Godot's language server to offer IntelliSense, formatting, and navigation for game projects.

## Use cases
- write gdscript in vscode with autocomplete
- debug godot games from vs code
- syntax highlighting for gdscript and tscn files
- format gdscript code
- jump to definition of gdscript symbols
- preview godot scenes inside vscode

## When to choose
- you develop Godot 3.2+ or Godot 4 games and prefer VS Code over the built-in editor
- you need a full GDScript debugger with breakpoints and variable watch
- you want IntelliSense, formatting, and resource navigation for .gd, .tscn, and .gdshader files

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than VS Code
- you work with Godot versions older than 3.2
- you only need to run Godot projects without editing code externally
