Full language support for the PICO-8 dialect of Lua.
The goal is to have all the features you'd expect in a full-fledged language server, such as the one for Lua, but specifically tailored for a frictionless PICO-8 experience.
View docs on hover, then auto-complete and signature help:
Full support for #include statements:
- Syntax highlighting
- Syntax errors
- Warnings on undefined variable usage
- Find symbol in document
- Go to definition
- Find references
- Hover support & signature help for built-in functions
- Auto-completion
- Support for
#includeing other files - Snippets for common idioms (functions, loops, etc) as well as pico-8 symbols (
p8-jelpi-> 🐱,p8-x-key-> ❎, etc) - Code formatting
This extension uses the Language Server Protocol, so while it's mainly made for VSCode, it could also be used for other editors such as NeoVim, Atom, etc.
I don't have any experience setting up language extensions for platforms other than VSCode, so currently looking for help with that. See tips and support thread on the issue for various editors:
Changelog has been moved to a separate file.
Please follow the official Language Server Extension Guide to understand how to develop VS Code language server extension.
