vscode-uxn-exec is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to assemble and run UXN (UxnTal) code in real time. UXN is a virtual stack-based computer with a unique set of assembly instructions, designed for creative coding and interactive art. With this extension, you can streamline your UXN development workflow directly within Visual Studio Code.
Yup, I know that using vscode and all that electron stuff is quiet against the principles behind the whole uxn project. BUT I need some tools to be able to play with the language when I'm on the road with only my tablet (and it's extensive battery life), so here we are.
- Assemble and run UXN code in real time.
- Easily execute your UXN code from within Visual Studio Code.
- Supports convenient keyboard shortcuts for quick execution.
- Open a
.uxnfile in Visual Studio Code. - Use the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl + Shift + P(orCmd + Shift + Pon macOS) to open the command palette. - Type
Run UXNand select it from the dropdown list.
The extension will assemble and run the UXN code in your file, providing immediate feedback on the output.

Special thanks to the UXN community and the Visual Studio Code extension development community for their support and contributions. This work is based on the UXN assembler written in JavaScript by rafapaezbas and the Varvara emulator in JavaScript by Rek, which have been integral in making this extension possible.
