  • Opcodes and macros in the opcode column
    • Documentation for opcodes (comments for macros)

Tasks

I have included a sample of tasks in the tasks folder.

For example, to use lwasm to assembly your file when you run the build task:

{
  "label": "lwasm",
  "type": "shell",
  "command": "lwasm -b ${relativeFile} -o${fileBasenameNoExtension}.bin || true",
  "windows": {
    "command": "lwasm -b ${relativeFile} -o${fileBasenameNoExtension}.bin"
  },
  "group": {
    "kind": "build",
    "isDefault": true
  },
  "problemMatcher": [
    "$lwasm"
  ],
  "presentation": {
    "reveal": "never"
  }
}
