I made definition files so that LSP can support pico8/picotron's library functions and special syntax, so that pico8/picotron programs can be written in external editors such as VSCode while getting the help of various modern features.

How to

1. Install and enable sumneko/Lua extensions in VSCode Marketplace

2. Download pico-api

3. New a folder .vscode in your workspace, and put the file setting.json into it

4. Change the field Lua.workspace.library in .vscode/settings.json to the path to the folder picotron(or folder pico8, depending on the type of your project)

5. New a cartridge and use this snippet at the top of its code:

-- picotron
cd("/myproj")
include("main.lua")

-- pico8

It seems that Vietnamese find some way to easily hack the verification measures of Lexaloffle BBS.

I found a simple way to use printh on Windows without any setup by using Terminal in VSCode.

Using Lnk file

1. Drag and drop the lnk of PICO-8 into VSCode Terminal;
2. Press Enter to run it;
3. Use printh in PICO-8!

Now printh will output its info to VSCode Terminal.

Using p8 file in VSCode

And if you set pico-8.exe as the default program to open your p8 file, you can just drag and drop your p8 file in the VSCode to Terminal. It will open PICO-8 and load the cart and printh still works.

Another way by editing lnk file: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=42367

@zep There is a mistake in the PICO-8 manual.

6.14 Additional Lua Features > Coroutines > costatus(c)

Return the status of coroutine C as a string:
  "running"
  "suspended"
  "dead"

The status "normal" is missing.

When coroutine A calls coroutine B, and you check the status of A in B, you will get "normal".
