AMSTRAD CPC Basic Helper

LOCOMOTIVE SOFTWARE AMSTRAD CPC BASIC syntax highlighting for Visual Studio Code.

• Supports all reserved words from the AMSTRAD CPC Locomotive BASIC range,
• Validates Amstrad Basic documents,
• Renumbers the currently opened BASIC file with the RENUM command, available from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or F1).
• Can RUN simple programs that do not need to load/run/chain/merge other files. Type Ctrl+Shift+P or F1 and launch Amstrad Basic Run.

Acknowledgments

• This started as a fork of the excellent AMSTRAD-Basic syntax highlighting extension from dfreniche.
• Renum function rewritten for Amstrad Basic from the COCOTools extension from jasonpittman.
• Validation and CPC Emulation comes from the amazing CPCBasic project from Marco Vieth.
