Version Comparison

Unity Code Assist is compatible with both Visual Studio and VS Code. Missing features of VS Code will be implemented by time.

Unity Code Assist has two version, full and lite. Full version has all of the features available and lite version (for VS Code) has limited features.

  • Code Completion

    More content for code completion (aka IntelliSense) which is specialized for common Unity APIs and your own projects.
