Configuring the external code editor
The primary focus of Phaser Editor 2D is providing visual tools for design scenes and gameplay. It also includes a basic JavaScript editor, but we always recommend, if possible, to use Visual Studio Code for editing your JavaScript/TypeScript files.
From the main menu of the editor, you can open the current project in Visual Studio Code:
In this version, we added the option to configure a different external code editor. It is similar to the way you configure a different browser. When running the editor server:
$ PhaserEditor2D -external-editor-command "'C:\path\to\atom.exe' '$LOC'" -external-editor-name "Atom"
The -external-editor-command sets the command to execute the editor. The $LOC variable is expanded with the full path to the project.
The -external-editor-name option sets the display name of the editor:
If you want to set these options by default, you can modify the flags file.
