+# Using Visual studio code to compile and install project
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before compilation you have to install tools and dependencies (points 1,2,3): [Installing tools and dependencies](https://github.com/colobot/colobot/wiki/How-to-Build-Colobot%3A-Gold-Edition-Using-MSVC#installing-tools-and-dependencies).
+
+### Cloning project
+
+In order to clone the project execute the following command:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/colobot/colobot.git
+```
+In order to clone `data` submodule you also have to execute: **(this module is needed to launch the game)**
+```
+git submodule update --init
+```
+If you want you can combine this commands and execute:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/colobot/colobot.git --recurse-submodules
+```
+### Configuring vscode
+
+1. Open project folder in vscode.
+2. Install extension [CMake Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cmake-tools).
+3. Install extension [C/C++](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools).
+4. On the status line at the bottom you can choose cmake configuration and compiler (see the screenshot attached at the bottom)
+
+### Adding cmake settings:
+
+Create folder .vscode if there is none. Inside that folder create file settings.json with the following content:
+```json
+{
+    "cmake.configureSettings": {
+            "name": "x64-Debug",
+            "generator": "Ninja",
+            "configurationType": "Debug",
+            "inheritEnvironments": ["msvc_x64_x64"],
+            "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": input path to toolchain,
+            "VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET": "x64-windows-static",
+            "BOOST_STATIC": "1",
+            "GLEW_STATIC": "1",
+            "MSVC_STATIC": "1"
+        },
+    "cmake.buildDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}\\out\\build\\x64-Debug",
+    "cmake.installPrefix": "${workspaceFolder}\\out\\build\\x64-Debug",
+    "cmake.generator": "ninja"
+}
+```
+
+### Compilation and installation
+
+1. Open cmake extension in the left menu.
+2. Click on `configure all projects`.
+3. On the status line at the bottom change the compilation target to `install`.
+4. Click `build`.
+5. Click `launch`.
