VS Code

While MSXgl can be used with any source code editor, there are some very useful features that work specifically with Visual Studio Code.

Assembler

ASxxxx Cross Assembler and Linker

This extension gives you syntax colorization for SDCC-compatible assembler syntax used in MSXgl: asz80.

Once the extension has been installed, add "asz80" language to file associations:

*.s	asz80

Z80 Assembly meter

This extension gives you information about the size and cost (in CPU cycles) of a piece of assembler code.

Once the extension has been installed, you have 2 options to change:

• Set Platform option to "MSX" to have accurate cycle count, including the MSX specific wait-state.
• Add "asz80" and "c" to the languageIds table. Adding "c" allows to get assembler analyzer for assembler code inlined into C function.
