What is pico8-ls?
PICO-8 Language Server is a tool that provides full-featured language support for the Lua dialect used by the PICO-8 fantasy console. It integrates into code editors to offer syntax highlighting, error checking, code completion, and documentation for PICO-8's built-in API, solving the problem of limited tooling for PICO-8 game development.
Game developers and hobbyists creating games or projects for the PICO-8 fantasy console who use code editors like VS Code, NeoVim, or Sublime Text.
Developers choose it because it is the first dedicated language server for PICO-8's Lua, offering IDE-like features specifically tailored to the console's unique syntax and API, which generic Lua tools do not support.
