Start Language for VS Code

Provides basic syntax highlighting and language configuration for files with the .start extension.

Features

• Line comments with #
• Keywords, built-ins, types and numbers (with optional c postfix) highlighted
• String escapes supported

Install (no packaging needed)

1. Close VS Code.
2. Copy the start-language-vscode folder into your extensions directory:
   • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\
   • macOS: ~/.vscode/extensions/
   • Linux: ~/.vscode/extensions/
3. Ensure the final path looks like ~/.vscode/extensions/start-language-vscode.
4. Launch VS Code and open a .start file. If not recognized, use the language selector in the status bar and choose Start.

Optional: Package as VSIX

If you prefer installing via a .vsix:

1. Install Node.js and run npm i -g vsce.
2. From inside this folder, run vsce package to produce start-language-0.0.1.vsix.
3. In VS Code, run Extensions: Install from VSIX... and select the file.

Notes

This grammar is derived from your PyCharm template keyword lists. If the language grows, we can add more precise scopes (operators, function definitions, etc.).
