Quick Evaluator + Debugger

The quick evalutor will execute the script and output whether or it's TRUE, FALSE, or INVALID.

The debugger will show you the resulting stack, alt-stack, and what kind of error is produced.

Formatting

The formatter automatically puts each opcode and piece of data on a new line. All OP_IF/OP_ELSE branches are indented.

Definitions

The definitions are based on the definitions.yaml file which was created by scraping the Bitcoin Wiki and later corrections were added from the Bitcoin SV Wiki. To add or update definitions please make a PR editing the definitions/bitcoinscript.yaml file.

Installation

• Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter:
• ext install shade.bsl

Alternatively, you can download the extension from the marketplace.
