A VSCode extension: VSCode/Mac/Chromebook/iPad remote hosted Fortnite Verse IDE

Visualize your code to either help you understand it better or to find bugs.

WIP Visual Reference Explorer & Helper for the Verse Programming Language created for UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite) by Epic Games.

NOTE: This extension is meant to work together with the official Verse LSP extension made by Epic Games. It won't work without it.

How to install

• Download the .vsix file from the release page in this repo.
• Go to VSCode->Extensions->... Menu->And select Install from VSIX

Features

Generate a Visual Reference graph from a given symbol in the workspace.

Ctrl+Click on a symbol in the graph to navigate back to its location in VSCode.

Other features

• MouseWheel to zoom in/out in the graph.
• Hold Left Mouse Button to pan the graph.
• Press Left Mouse Button twice over a node to open its details.
• Hover over a node to view it details.
• It's possible to open multiple graphs at the same time and close them at any time.

Planned Roadmap

Verse Reference Explorer

• Show the definition tree of the relevant symbols in the graph.
• Add the option to navigate back to VSCode from a given symbol in the graph.
• Apprend generic/templates members/methods to the relevant symbols in the graph. e.g. Add Slice() method as child of array properties.
• Show the list of references/related symbols of the relevant symbols in the graph. e.g. If a symbol is named MyAgent of type agent, add any repetition of properties named "MyAgent" in the workspace. Add methods that make or return agent as a parameter?
• Show the list of usages locations of the relevant symbols in the graph. e.g. Locations of where MyAgent is used in the workspace. This can be used to navigate back to those locations in VSCode.
• Show the list of UEFN devices related to the relevant symbols in the graph. Similar to references/related symbols, but focused on Fortnite devices.
• Show a notification if the symbol under the caret doesn't have enough data to be shown in the graph.
• Parse and Add comments to the description of the symbols in the graph.
• Implement the Go to Reference Explorer command. This command will navigate/focus the relevant symbol under the caret in the graph.
• Expose settings for darkmode, custom tiddlymap file, etc.
• Disable/modify UI elements and features from tiddlymaps to improve the UX.

Verse Programming Language

• Add generic/templates members/methods to the vscode editor suggestions.
• Add snippets.

Known Issues (To be fixed)

• Navigate to VSCode using Ctrl+Click gets disabled in tiddlymaps if the graph loses focus (e.g. by changing the view in tiddlymaps).
• Constructors do not generate a definition tree in the graph.
• Symbols such as listenable that implement interfaces with params such as awaitable(payload) do not generate a definition tree in the graph.
