A lightweight, in-engine C# code editor that eliminates context-switching friction. Edit code natively inside Unity with Roslyn autocompletion, Go to Definition, and built-in backups.Tired of context-switching to heavy, external IDEs just to tweak a single line of code or fix a minor bug?Script Box is a lightweight, modern, text-based code editor built entirely within the Unity Editor using the native UI Toolkit architecture. It provides a frictionless workflow environment designed to let you edit, search, navigate, and protect your C# scripts without ever leaving your active project layout.Key FeaturesRoslyn-Powered Autocompletion: Code efficiently with intelligent, case-filtered code suggestions and autocomplete triggers (Ctrl+Space).Deep Code Navigation ("Go to Definition"): Jump straight to your symbol declarations using the F12 hotkey or right-click menu, complete with multi-file fallback searching across your Unity project files.Smart Find & Replace Suite: A powerful, contextual search (Ctrl+F / Ctrl+H) that pre-seeds your cursor text, highlights matches across line numbers dynamically, and supports safe multi-instance replacements.Automatic Version Backups: Every script save records an independent rollback snapshot. Instantly compare, manage, and toggle through historical versions using the integrated layout visualizer.Built-in Diagnostics Console: Track syntax and compilation diagnostics natively in real-time with an active error list panel that allows you to click an error and instantly navigate to the problematic line.Visual Customization: Ship with custom theme configurations.Why Choose Script Box?Script Box isn't designed to replace your favorite full-scale external IDE—it's designed to save you hours of compounding compilation and software load delays. Whether you are hacking through an intense game jam or fine-tuning values during playtesting, Script Box keeps you focused on your code with zero external friction.Technical Specifications & ArchitectureUI Framework: Built entirely using modern, native Unity UI Toolkit (UXML/USS) for optimized editor rendering performance and seamless dark/light skin scaling.Code Parsing Engine: Powered by the Microsoft Roslyn compiler framework (Microsoft.CodeAnalysis) for rich, asynchronous syntactic analysis and contextual autocomplete token generation.Editor Isolated: Structured completely within Editor assemblies to guarantee zero code leaks, stripping, or compilation interference during production runtime game builds.Package ContentsC# Editor Scripts: Core editor layouts, document binding management systems, and text parsing search utilities.UI Layout Assets: Modern UXML interface hierarchies and responsive stylesheet (USS) configurations.Settings & Themes: Default ScriptableObject asset configurations including high-contrast premium theme configurations.Compatibility & DependenciesUnity Version Support: Compatible with Unity 2022.3 LTS and Unity 6+.Platform Compatibility: Runs seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux editor installations.Dependencies: Uses Roslyn C# Compiler APIs (included in package installation)AI assistants were utilized as a collaborative programming co-pilot during the technical development of this package's C# code architecture. Specifically, AI was used to assist in: Refactoring structural patterns and event routing for the native Unity UI Toolkit integration. Debugging token selection and text offset arithmetic for the Roslyn semantic compiler model lookup. Optimizing the mathematical coordinate spacing logic to synchronize custom line-number tracks with viewport auto-scrolling inside the text viewport container.No generative AI models or automated synthesis tools were used to produce visual art assets, graphics, UI design themes.
