RetroC64 VSCode Extension

This is the official Visual Studio Code extension for the RetroC64 debugger. The debugger is actually implemented entirely in the RetroC64 .NET runtime by using the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP). This extension provides only the necessary VSCode integration to connect to the RetroC64 debugger easily from within VSCode.

Register access: Full read-write access to CPU registers, CPU flags, stack, and zero page addresses
Hardware registers: Access to VIC and SID registers
Breakpoints: Set code breakpoints and data breakpoints (watchpoints)
Execution control: Step-in, step-over, step-out, pause, and continue
Memory inspection: View RAM contents
Code analysis: View disassembly

Check the RetroC64 repository for more information about the RetroC64 debugger itself.
