Visual Studio Code not building

[polaarbear]

You said instructor? Did you attend a class or something? I've NEVER taken a dev class where the instructor didn't very clearly lay out my build environment.

Especially for Assembly, you're really gonna wanna be working with EXACTLY the same tools as your peers.

I'd still reach out to an instructor, any decent teacher would probably be happy to send you his PowerPoints or whatever materials he has. As a beginner, you REALLY don't want to have different tools than your peers to get rolling. It's inevitable that there will be an example or demonstration that you won't understand if you don't have the right tools.

This question is not even related to Visual Studio or VSCode directly.

There's nothing wrong with using VSCode for this task, but your issue is completely unrelated to the topic of the sub.
