ZenCoder in the Inspector
Write and run live C# without leaving Unity. No code generators, no external windows.
Overview
What is ZenCoder?
A lightweight runtime scripting layer that runs directly inside Unity’s Inspector. No code generators, no external windows, and no Play Mode interruptions.
Skip the compile-reload-recreate loop. Change logic in the Inspector and see results immediately.
Instant execution
Code updates apply in real time, even during Play Mode. No recompiling, no reloads. Select any component as
target and get full access to its fields, methods, and
properties with rich autocompletion.

Why “Zen” Coder?
Because coding should feel calm, clear, and intentional. Stay in the moment and shape behavior as you go.
