PICO-8 Language Server

VS Marketplace installs VS Marketplace downloads

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.

Features

Support for other platforms

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:
