Hey guys I want to know if there is anything similar to Visual Studios for CC because I am getting tired of coding in game. Please give some suggestions that might help me.

I use Sublime Text 2 and set up a symbolic link in my computer directory to wherever I'm writing code (which usually happens to be a git repo). You could of course use any text editor, and you don't have to make a symbolic link if you ain't got no time fo dat. There's also LuaIDE here on the forums which makes coding in-game a bit easier to deal with.

Adding onto what Yevano said,
You can use any text editor to open the files and edit them. I recommend using a programming text editor like Sublime text, Notepad++, for windows, Gedit for Linux or perhaps TextMate for Mac OSX. There's many more out there, just search for programming text editor.
Most of these programs should let you set the language to Lua which will help make your programs easier to understand.
