This Visual Studio Code extension provides IntelliSense for the CROBOTS programming language.

CROBOTS is a programming game made in 1985 by Tom Poindexter, where players code robot control programs whose job is to seek out and destroy other robots. Check out the home and the manual of this little gem of history.

  • Go-to definition: Ctrl+Click or F12 on a symbol to go to its definition
  • References view: hit Shift+F12 on a symbol to view all its occurrences
  • Inline suggestions: context-aware autocompletion for keywords, local variables and intrinsic functions

Dev notes
