VS Code settings

I found 2 VS Code extensions:

• https://github.com/Viza74/xcbasiclanguagevscodeext
• https://github.com/orlof/xcb3-vscode-ext

The second one from orlof seems to be more active, so that's what I installed. Its extension ID is "RealOrlof.orlof-xcbasic3".

The extension will automatically download and set up the XC=BASIC3 compiler and DASM assembler.

At the bottom, in the status bar, you'll get some clickable tasks:

Shift+F5 is a shortcut for compiling the project.

The first task, "Run File" didn't work out of the box. First, I had to specify the absolute path of x64sc in the settings:

After this, I could run the project with the first task.

Ctrl+F5 is a shortcut for running the project in the emulator (I use the Vice emulator). However, this shortcut didn't want to work for me, so I assigned this action to Ctrl+Shift+F5. That worked.

User snippets

If you want to build your own code snippets, then the snippet file must be called "xcbasic3.json".

How to figure it out? Open this file:

~/.vscode/extensions/realorlof.orlof-xcbasic3-3.0.3/package.json

And find the language ID:
