NextBuild : A suite of tools based on Boriel's ZX Basic Compiler targetting the ZX Spectrum Next
Please report any bugs and I will try to fix them.
Latest ZXBasic Compiler included v15.1.0 Now generates NEX & bin files Scripts rewritten in python so will work on Win, Mac & Linux
VSCode will install the NextBuild VSCode extension
When you start Vscode, choose "Open Folder" and point to "Sources" in the Nextbuild folder.
Download the archive and extract to a folder, launch VScode and choose "Open Folder", select the "Sources" folder inside of \NextBuildv7
Load a source .bas file (try examples) and then compile by using the terminal menu and Run Build Task - you can configure a keyboard shortcut in your prefs.
This should compile and launch in CSpect if there is an error the Compile.txt is opened in the default text editor.
See the video below on how to setup for Windows & VSCode
