Small Basic & syntax highlighting in Visual Studio Code

Question

Hello! I'm a teacher, and I'm playing around with Small Basic. I love the built-in IDE, but I'd also like to use Visual Studio Code with it from time-to-time. However, I don't see a extension in the Marketplace that provides any sort of syntax highlighting, auto-completion, etc. Does such a thing exist anywhere? If not, how hard would it be to create one?

Answer 1

Hi! I also didn't find any existing extension for Small Basic in the VS Code marketplace (the SBLang doesn't seem to be related to Small Basic). So I started to work on a new extension for Small Basic:

• Project page: https://github.com/alxnull/vscode-smallbasic
• Marketplace listing: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alxnull.vscode-smallbasic

The (currently very simple) extension supports syntax highlighing and simple code snippets. I'll maybe also look into some more advanced features in the future.

Answer 2

I found the extension SBLang in VisualStudioCode. But I don't know whether this refers to the Small Basic programming language.
At least the syntax highlighting seems to be working.
I did not investigate the extension further because I am not familiar with VisualStudioCode and am very satisfied with the IDE Small Basic Prime.
