Usage
This extension supports debugging Amalgam scripts as well as Trace files produced by using the Python interface for Amalgam: amalgam-lang-py.
Example launch.json configurations:
Below is an example of a launch.json configuration used to debug the Amalgam script that is currently being edited:

"type": "amalgam",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Run Amalgam",
"program": "${file}",
"stopOnEntry": false,
"executable": "/path/to/your/amalgam_interpreter"
},
Below is an example of a launch.json configuration used to debug using a trace file produced by amalgam-lang-py:

"name": "Run Trace",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/howso.amlg",
"executable": "/path/to/your/amalgam_interpreter",
