@Pfaber1, It sounds like you have not set the path for AppGameKit Studio.
If you are seeing the error '
Could not find AppGameKit Compiler, please check that you are using the latest version of AppGameKit Studio, and that your install folder path is correct in the extension settings' then try the following:-
1. Open VSCode and click the cog on the bottom left of the screen
2. select settings
3. On the user tab look for Extensions and expand the selection
4. select the AppGameKit Language Client
5. in the Agk Path field set the path eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\AppGameKit Studio
If you like VSCode I have found this extension useful for adding additional menu buttons. It makes it feel more like the classic version of agk for me.

Another tip is to exclude files / folder types from the explorer pane so that only .agc file types are displayed, this makes the explorer a lot less confusing.
To do this edit the settings.json file which is located in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Code\User
This is how I have configured mine:-

"workbench.colorTheme": "Default Dark+",
"agklang.agkPath": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\The Game Creators\\AppGameKit Studio",
