How to write MSX BASIC with Visual Studio Code

Install Visual Studio Code

Just install Visual Studio code the normal way.

Add the gramar for MSX-BASIC

I made some custom tasks for VS-Studio

I made three tasks:

to compile with MSXBAS2ROM
to compile with MSXBAS2ROM and startup the WebMSX site in order to run the .ROM directly
to compile and copy the ROM file to my Synology NAS system. In that way I can mount it directly on my MSXVR and use it on a real MSX system

` { "label": "Compile MSX Basic to ROM", "type": "shell", "command": "cd "${fileDirname}"; msxbas2rom -c ${fileBasename}" },

    {
        "label": "Compile & Run MSX Basic to ROM",
        "type": "shell",
        "command": "cd \"${fileDirname}\"; msxbas2rom -c ${fileBasename}; Start-Process https://webmsx.org"
    },

    {
        "label": "Compile & Copy MSX Basic to ROM",
        "type": "shell",
        "command": "cd \"${fileDirname}\"; msxbas2rom -c ${fileBasename}; copy ${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.rom \\\\synology\\msxvr\\rom"
    }
