Title: agikit 0.4 + Visual Studio Code
Post by: natbudin on March 10, 2021, 04:47:10 PM

Hello everyone!  I'm pleased to announce that agikit version 0.4 is out, and with it there are two major changes:

• agikit is now split into multiple npm packages.  For the previous command-line functionality, you probably want to install agikit-cli.
• We now also have a language server for LOGIC scripts and a Visual Studio Code extension built on it.

This means it is now (starting to become) possible to use Visual Studio Code as an IDE for AGI games (in a very very limited way that will hopefully become less limited over time).  Here's a screenshot:

Right now, agikit-vscode can:

• Syntax highlight LOGIC scripts
• Check for syntax errors in LOGIC scripts
• Provide hover and "go to definition" inside LOGIC scripts
• Build AGI games
• Run built AGI games in ScummVM

If you'd like to try this out yourself, I've updated Peter Kelly's AGI Contest 2 Template game to work with agikit.  You can find the agikit version at https://github.com/nbudin/agikit-project-template (https://github.com/nbudin/agikit-project-template), along with a set of instructions to get it up and running.  I'm sure there are plenty of bugs here, and I would definitely appreciate any feedback or bug reports anyone has!

Writing AGI games in VSCode.

Wow. That's pretty damn impressive, gotta admit.

Thanks everyone!  I realized I forgot to link to the source code in the top post here, so if you're interested here it is: https://github.com/nbudin/agikit (https://github.com/nbudin/agikit)

I'll keep this forum posted with further updates as these tools develop!  Next is probably some usability improvements to the VSCode tooling, and an attempt to make AGI Studio-compatible LOGIC resources.

Added. And here is a stub page for agikit that you can flesh out. http://agiwiki.sierrahelp.com/index.php?title=Agikit

Thanks so much!  The page is now updated with some basic info; I'll flesh it out more as we go.

Also, I've started working on PIC resource support.  Stay tuned!
