Before you can port your game into Vs Code, you need a place/model file. If you have an existing game that isn't exported:
-
Go to studio, click on any place, and then click on File -> Save to file as.
-
Note where you have that file.
- Clone the repo to a folder
- Launch a terminal in that folder.
- Open folder in Vs Code.
- Run
pip install -r requirements.txtto install the dependencies, either through vs code terminal or cmd. - Install the followin extensions to vs code:

- https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rojo-rbx.rojo - rojo extension for vs code.
