herrklein / pico8-simple-outline

[VS Code] For PICO-8 files (*.p8), display functions in the Outline by using a rudimentary regex.

pico8-simple-outline

This plugin runs this regex:

/^ *function /i

on *.p8 files to fill the Outline view of Visual Studio Code with function names. It does not attempt to parse PICO-8 Lua syntax. It also runs the regex:

/^-->8$/

to group functions by tabs, if any. Tabs are named if next line is a comment.

With tabs:

With named tab:

Requirements

No dependencies, but it was originally intended to be used with pico8vscodeeditor, and they seem to work together without conflict.

Known Issues

It would be better to parse the PICO-8 Lua syntax properly, but without that, the simple regular expression described above is used.

It would also be better to load and parse the sample files in automated tests.
