NextBuild-VSCode README

NextBuild & Boriel ZX Basic Syntax & Snippets for Visual Studio Code Derived from zxbasic extension by jsjlogin.zxbasic https://github.com/jsanjose/zxbasic-vscode

Thank you to Remy Sharp for his NextBasic extension examples which can be found here : https://github.com/remy/vscode-nextbasic - NB you cannot have both enabled for the same profile as they both work with the .BAS extension.

NextBuild is a set of tools and library for creating software for the ZX Spectrum Next. Most if not all hardware features are accessible.

Download here : https://github.com/em00k/nextbuild

Not all classic keywords have Snippets, all NextBuild functions should have syntax help.

You can find more information about Boriel ZX Basic Compiler here : https://github.com/boriel-basic/zxbasic Boriel ZX Basic command reference can be found when you hover over a keywork and a link back to https://zxbasic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ which contains all the documentation.
