Vidyax for VS Code
Syntax highlighting and editing support for the Vidyax programming language (.vx).
Features
- Syntax highlighting: keywords, strings, numbers, comments, built-in functions, the
ai module, function names, and assignment targets.
- Line comments with
#.
- Auto-closing and surrounding pairs:
( ), [ ], " ".
- Auto-indent after a line ending with
: (blocks).
Install (no build needed)
bash install.sh
Then reload VS Code: Ctrl+Shift+P -> Developer: Reload Window (or restart it).
Open any .vx file and the highlighting kicks in.
Manual install
Copy this folder into your VS Code extensions directory:
cp -r vidyax-vscode ~/.vscode/extensions/nadev.vidyax-0.0.1
(For VSCodium use ~/.vscode-oss/extensions/ instead.)

syntaxes/vax.tmLanguage.json # the TextMate grammar (the actual highlighting rules)

Notes
This is a declarative (grammar-only) extension, so it needs no Node.js, no npm,
and no compilation — VS Code loads it directly. To publish it to the Marketplace
later, package it with vsce package (requires Node.js).
