New Choicescript extension for VS Code (2.0 now runs games!)

Okay, I’m ridiculously proud of a feature I finally took advantage of in VS Code that’s saved me a lot of work. In my current WIP, I’ve got characters who may be non-binary and use they/them pronouns. To deal with pronouns, I created a set of ${character_he} and {character_s} variables so I could write sentences like

${darcy_he} pick${darcy_s} up the book.

The problem is that I keep forgetting to include the _s variable.

Today I finally created a snippet so that when I type ${, one of the options is a template that auto-fills the _he and _s variables and lets me tab to the verb. If you want to try this yourself, follow the directions to create your own snippet and use the following snippet:

	"[Character] verb[s]": {
		"prefix": "${",
		"body": [
			"\\${${1:character}_he} ${2:verb}\\${${1:character}_s}"
		],
		"description": "[Character] verb[s]"
	}
