How to actually use this to develop netlogo code in vscode? #2

So the plugin itself works great, but how do you setup your workspace to develop with netlogo?

As far as I can see there's no easy way to access the gui or even the built-in language parser to show errors or run the simulation.

And if you run VSCode and the Netlogo GUI at the same time, there'd probably be issues with two programs changing the same file at once.

Is there a good way to start the simulation/language checker from netlogo from within vscode?(e.g. a run button)

Same question here. NetLogo's poor editor interface forced me to use VSCode for coding. But this extension seems only able to show some highlights. I have to do coding in VSCode, save the file and then turn back on NetLogo for running programs. Really bad experiences.

Bro if you found any solutions please let me know.

I ended up switching between netlogo to run the code/create GUI elements and vim to edit the code. Annoying, but since I wouldn't be working with netlogo for too long I didn't want to invest much more time into the tooling around it.
