# VS Code Extension (/ink/vscode-extension)



If you're using *ink*, we recommend using the *ink* extension we developed. In addition to providing standard *ink* language features, it lets you select `pixi-vn` as your game engine and test your narration in real time.

You can download it and get more information [here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=drincs-productions.pixi-vn-ink-vscode).

    "ink.mainFile": "start.ink",
    "ink.rootFolder": "src/ink",
    "ink.markup": "Markdown",
    "ink.engine": "pixi-vn"
}
```
