Have been using Notepad++
for awhile now, and adding scripts via Lua
extensions. Now, I would like to get my feet wet using VS Code
and was wondering what sort of extensibility I could leverage in that environment? Possible to run the same Lua
scripts, for instance? Or are there other avenues I should consider? Thanks for any insights!

Please install the vs-code extensions "LuaDebug" and "extensionPath" provided by actboy168.
Add a file named
.vscode/launch.json
with the content:if your source to be executed is
src/main.lua
.Then hit
F5
or "Run"->"Start Debugging", select the lauch configuration and happy debugging.An example is also shipped by the author of the plug-in (actboy128), which can be found here: https://github.com/actboy168/luamake
Please do not try to build it, simply load it in VS Code and debug it!
