Development in Visual Studio
----------------------------
For most projects, using only scripting is enough but when development
in C++ is needed, for creating modules or extending the engine, working
with an IDE is usually desirable.
Using an IDE is not required to compile Godot, as SCons takes care of everything.
But if you intend to do engine development or debugging of the engine's C++ code,
you may be interested in configuring a code editor or an IDE.
Folder-based editors don't require any particular setup to start working with Godot's
codebase. To edit projects with Visual Studio they need to be set up as a solution.
You can create a Visual Studio solution via SCons by running SCons with
