.WS File Extension

Executable script for Windows that can incorporate JScript and VBScript routines and may include XML elements; runs when opened if Windows Scripting Host (WSH) 2.0 or later is installed.

A WS file may also be a game ROM file used by WonderSwan emulators, such as Oswan, OpenEmu, and Higan. It contains an exact copy of the game data dumped from the original WonderSwan game cartridge.

WonderSwan emulators allow users to play WonderSwan games on a computer as if they were run on the original system. Game data from the original WonderSwan game cartridge is dumped into a WS file, which stores the game data in a format that can be played by a WonderSwan emulator.

WonderSwan is a Japanese handheld video game console created by Bandai. It was released in 1999 as a competitor to Nintendo's Game Boy Color. It was discontinued in 2003. WonderSwan game titles include Buffers Evolution, Beatmania, Final Lap 2000, Gunpey, Harobots, and Puzzle Bobble.

File created by 1-2-3 Word Search Maker, a program used for making word search puzzles; stores a word list as well as the alphabetical grid containing the words to find; also stores the solution by highlighting the word list in the puzzle.

When you have completed designing a word puzzle, you can print it with a standard printer.

NOTE: WS files are saved in a simple text format and can be viewed with any text editor to browse the contents.

A WS file may also be a program written in the Whitespace programming language. It contains Whitespace source code, which consists of spaces, tabs, and linefeeds (whitespace characters). WS files also often contain comments written using letters, numbers, and other non-whitespace characters.

You can open and edit a WS file in any text or source code editor, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Keep in mind that, because Whitespace programs are written using only whitespace characters, your WS file may appear empty. You can run the program a WS file contains using a Whitespace interpreter.
