happy to hear that works well!

and for the reason why kotelin extension not work properly because “kotlin language server”, not support “1.8.0” yet. (we talked about that last time [here](https://openrndr.discourse.group/t/hello-from-seoul/503/2)). it will work as change “1.8.0” to “1.6.0” [here](https://github.com/openrndr/openrndr-template/blob/ff1942d2a821c540d7b7d804e201c6462890f7e2/settings.gradle.kts#L11).

after change it, restart kotlin language server by command prompt in vscode.  
kotlin extension start index for a while, and as soon as it ready, you can see code suggestion like this.

**++ PLUS**  
sometimes kotlin language server is not launching because it cannot find proper JAVA bin.  
in this case you can set java JAVA\_HOME path in vscode setting for kotlin `settings`.

you can find JAVA\_HOME by `which java` in terminal.  
(FYI, I installed JAVA with [sdk man](https://sdkman.io/))

hope this helps!
