Class VSCodeManager

Namespace

GrindFest

Assembly

GrindFest.dll

Manages VSCode extraction from StreamingAssets zip file with version checking.

The bundled zip is the official VS Code archive downloaded from Microsoft: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/latest/win32-x64-archive/stable No customizations are applied — it's the vanilla VS Code zip. To update it, use the Unity editor menu: GrindFest > VS Code Bundle > Download Latest.

Platform support:

• Windows: VSCode-win32-x64.zip → extracts → Code.exe (fully working)
• Linux: VSCode-linux-x64.tar.gz → extracts via system tar → ./code

The extracted folder lives in persistentDataPath (LocalLow/GrindFest) — always writable, survives game updates, and sits next to Saves, Scripts and Mods. Only the archive ships with the build; StreamingAssets is read-only on most platforms and is replaced by updates, so nothing is ever extracted there.

VSCodeManager

Properties

CanLaunchProcesses

Whether this runtime can hand a path to the operating system at all. A probe, not a platform check: the rule is capability ("can I start a process?"), never identity ("which platform is this?"), so the same code path decides everywhere. Cached, because the probe allocates a Process object.
