P8Coder
A Windows tool for organizing and editing PICO-8 cartridge Lua code with a project explorer and built-in viewers.
What is P8Coder?
P8Coder is a Windows-only programming tool for PICO-8 that replaces the Lua code in PICO-8 cartridges with code written and organized within its editor. It solves the problem of managing large, monolithic Lua files by allowing developers to group code by game entities and functions in a virtual project structure. The tool integrates syntax highlighting, API hints, and built-in viewers for sprites and maps.
PICO-8 developers working on Windows who want better code organization and project management without leaving the PICO-8 ecosystem. It's ideal for those building games with multiple entities or complex codebases.
Developers choose P8Coder for its focused feature set tailored to PICO-8, including virtual code grouping, built-in asset viewers, and seamless cartridge integration. It enhances productivity by providing a structured editing environment while maintaining compatibility with standard PICO-8 cartridges.
