Unable to find vcs.h and macro.h

[matthewdawson15]

Hi,

I'm very new to atari programming so apologies if I've made a silly mistake, but when I try to compile my .asm file I get the following errors:

Warning: Unable to open 'vcs.h'
Warning: Unable to open 'macro.h'

If I download those files individually from the dasm github and put them in the same directory as my .asm file, atari dev studio will compile and run my game, however that would require me copying and pasting them across all folders when I move onto a different tutorial.

Should these two files not be included by default in dasm? If not would it be possible for you to add these two files by default to dasm when the dev studio extension is installed?

Thanks very much

HI Matthew,

As we don't (yet) have a project system in ADS this does need to be managed by the user for each project as you have noted. I have been considering adding a New Project process (probably by adding a tab to the sidebar) to assist with setting up a 'simple' structure project for bB, 7800basic and assembly as a starting point.

It's just a matter of having some time to work through the process. I'm currently adding some import image features the Sprite Editor so will look to add this once that is done as it's probably overdue!!
