Auto Splitting Language language extension for VS Code

Auto Splitting Language

Adds Visual Studio Code support for LiveSplit's Auto Splitting Language (ASL). ASL scripts are connected to LiveSplit to create Auto Splitters, which have several abilities to automate LiveSplit. ASL allows users to specify memory locations and pointers to read data from processes. The data is then used to execute certain LiveSplit actions.

Features

1. Adds appropriate syntax highlighting for the Auto Splitting Language
2. Uses Visual Studio Code's C# syntax highlighting for the actions' code
3. Adds helpful snippets for valid actions and objects

Helpful Links

• ASL Documentation
• Speedrun Tool Development Discord
• List of ASL Scripts to learn from, automatically created from the Auto Splitters XML and filterable by different criteria
• Available Code Snippets

Syntax highlighting wrong for declarations and anonymous functions on certain themes

This is concerning #4.
Even after (or especially because of) these changes, some of the highlighting seems off on any theme that isn't VSCode's default Dark+. Unsurprisingly, casting a lambda function is still broken (it only breaks once the => of the function part is completed).

Here's what I propose:

• adding game, memory, modules, timer, etc. as some sort of "known variables"
• if at all possible, adding normal C# support for the integrated namespaces and LiveSplit classes (probably not a thing)

This might fully be on me, since I may have removed too much from csharp.tmLanguage.json.

Here's some code with the ASL extension on Dark+:

Here's the same code with the ASL extension on One Monokai 80s Plus:

Here's the same code with the normal C# syntax highlighting on One Monokai 80s Plus:

Syntax Highlighting missing for anonymous function casts

Take this anonymous lambda function assigned to an ExpandoObject:
https://github.com/Avasam/Avasam.AutoSplitters/blob/main/Pitfall%20The%20Lost%20Expedition/Pitfall-TLE.asl#L66

As you can see, compared to an explicit typing on initialization, the highlighting is missing.

Management of multiple spaces for the declaration of pointers

Hello,

While trying to open an autosplitter via this extension to benefit from syntax highlighting (thanks a lot for that by the way!) I noticed an omission in the regex of the pointer-path. The regex uses the token \s for the separation between the type and the name of the pointer but doesn't leave the choice on the number of possible spaces/tabs. For a script that likes to align names this unfortunately blocks syntax highlighting.

asl-extension/syntaxes/asl.tmLanguage.json

Line 65 in 260e48e

"begin": "\\b(?i)(byte[0-9]+|sbyte|byte|short|ushort|int|uint|long|ulong|float|double|bool|string[0-9]+)\\s(\\w+)",

Adding the quantifier + to the token \s solves the problem:

\\b(?i)(byte[0-9]+|sbyte|byte|short|ushort|int|uint|long|ulong|float|double|bool|string[0-9]+)\\s+(\\w+)

I can make a pull request if necessary :)

Kind regards,
