The VS64 extension is a valuable open-source tool developed specifically for Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code.
With this extension, developers can effortlessly build, debug, inspect, and run C64 assembly code directly within the Visual Studio Code environment. It offers seamless integration with popular assemblers such as ACME, compilers like CC65 and LLVM-MOS, and even includes a comprehensive project and build system. Additionally, it features a resource compiler and full support for the task and launch system in Visual Studio Code. This powerful extension streamlines the development process, making it more efficient for programmers to work with C64 assembly code on Visual Studio Code.
