Algo Language Support

Basic syntax highlighting for .algo files (AlgTPy language) in VS Code.

Features

• Highlights program structure (algorithme, début/fin, TDNT/TDO)
• Control flow (si/alors/sinon, tant que, pour, répéter/jusqu’à, selon, cas)
• Procedures/functions and retourner
• Types (entier, réel/reel, booléen/booleen/bool, caractère/caratere, chaîne/chaine, enregistrement, tableau, fichier)
• Literals (numbers, strings, chars, booleans)
• Operators (assignment <-, arithmetic, comparisons, logical et/ou/ouex, non, @)
• Line and block comments

Install (local dev)

1. Open this folder in VS Code: extensions/algo-syntax
2. Press F5 to launch an Extension Development Host. Open any .algo file to see highlighting.

Alternatively, you can use the Command Palette:

• "Developer: Install Extension from Location..." and choose this folder

File icons for .algo

This extension also provides a file icon theme that shows a custom icon for .algo files.

Enable it in VS Code:

1. Command Palette → "File Icon Theme: Set File Icon Theme"
2. Choose "Algo Icons"

You can switch back anytime from the same menu.

Files

• package.json – Extension manifest (language + grammar contributions)
• language-configuration.json – Brackets, comments, auto-closing pairs
• syntaxes/algo.tmLanguage.json – TextMate grammar rules
• images/icon.svg – Source vector icon (export to PNG before publishing)
• images/file-algo.svg – Icon used by the file icon theme for .algo files
• fileicons/algo-icon-theme.json – File icon theme definition
• LICENSE – GNU GPLv3 license for the extension

Notes

• This is a minimal, regex-based highlighter and does not parse the language.
• You can refine patterns or add more scopes for better theming.
