Background
For developers that are using Rojo + VSCode, there were no existing themes which provided syntax highlighting similar to Roblox Studio. Until now! Here’s a link to the extension I created for this.
Why not just use Roblox Studio?
A fair question. Using Rojo + an external IDE like VSCode allows programmers to directly modify Roblox game files on their local file system, which allows the use of Github, a version control management tool. It also opens up the possibility of using open source tooling like Selene, which can be used to standardize code better and catch certain bugs. It’s not for everyone, but certainly has a use for some people.
Why make this extension?
Well, I was originally developing my game in Roblox Studio. However, I decided I wanted the benefits of version control, so I switched to Rojo + VSCode. My problem was, the code looked all different and I just thought it looked ugly. So I went to look for themes. But there were no themes that made the code look like Roblox Studio. So I decided to make my own.
Target Audience
Developers who are switching from Roblox Studio to VSCode but want their code to look as if it were in Roblox Studio.
