liberty-basic

Features

This extension aims to add support for Liberty BASIC in Visual Studio Code.

It adds:

• syntax highlighting for Liberty BASIC 4.5.1
• outline of subs, functions and branch labels
• code folding for subs, functions, loops, IF and SELECT CASE blocks
• auto-indent for block statements
• Run Program, Debug Program and Make TKN File commands that start Liberty BASIC on the current file

Running programs

Set libertybasic.executablePath to your liberty.exe (the first run will ask for it), then use the ▶ button in the editor title bar or the Liberty BASIC: commands in the command palette. The file is saved first and opened by Liberty BASIC with its -R (run), -D (debug) or -T (make TKN) command-line switch. Program output and errors appear in Liberty BASIC's own windows.

Settings:

• libertybasic.executablePath: absolute path to liberty.exe
• libertybasic.executableWrapper: a command to start it through, e.g. ["wine"] on Linux or macOS
• libertybasic.minimizeEditor (-M) and libertybasic.exitWhenFinished (-A): registered version of Liberty BASIC only

Latest release notes

1.1.1

Added Run Program, Debug Program and Make TKN File commands that start Liberty BASIC on the current file. See Running programs.

1.1.0

The extension has been modernized and requires VS Code 1.100 or newer. Highlighting was reworked against the Liberty BASIC 4.5.1 documentation and now works with any color theme. The bundled Liberty BASIC theme has been removed. The outline now nests labels under their subs and functions, and folding and auto-indent were added.
