It will also fill environment values with it's value which you are able to define in the configuration of this extension.

You can also exclude namespaces from getting transformed.

More details here.

Build

Transforms and bundles your files which makes it easier to import them into GreyHack. As described in the transform section it has three possible transformation types and supports environment variables as well.

Keep in mind to activate the installer to enable bundling in case you are using import_code in your code.

You can also select the max characters per file which will then split the installer files into the selected size.

More details here.

Interpreter

Executes GreyScript code. Almost all intrinsics are fully supported. To get more information which intrinsics are supported click here.

It also features a mock environment and debugger.

After you pressed run a prompt will appear to input the parameters for the execution.

Since the latest update it also supports colors in the console via a pseudo terminal. Also inputing data is much more convinient now since there won't be any popups anymore instead you can use the pseudo terminal.

More details here.

Debugger

Enables you to set breakpoints, run code in a breakpoint context, jump to the next line of execution etc. Generally helpful if you want to debug your code. More details here.

Keep in mind to set the breakpoint on a none empty line. Otherwise it will just skip that breakpoint.

A repl is also available while executing the script or having an active breakpoint.
