Join-Roblox-Game Extension for VSCode

Speed up your live-experience testing with the Join-Roblox-Game extension for Visual Studio Code. This tool enables you to directly link your workspace with a Roblox game, offering a streamlined path to jump from code to gameplay within a single click.

Quick Setup

1. Configure the place.json File:

   • Create a file named place.json within your workspace.
   • Populate it with the placeId of your Roblox game and your Roblox account's cookie for authentication.

   {
     "placeId": "your-game-id-here",
     "cookie": "your-roblox-cookie-here"
   }

2. Join Your Game:

   • Make sure your workspace contains Lua files to activate the extension's functionality.
   • Click the Join Game button on the bottom left of the status bar to start your Roblox game.

Ensuring Your Security

Storing sensitive information, like your Roblox cookie, requires careful handling. It is highly adviced to exclude place.json from your version control. This can be done by adding place.json to your .gitignore file.
