PICO-8 in Sublime Text 2

Syntax Highlighting

  1. Open up your Packages folder by going Preferences >> Browse Packages...
  2. Create a new folder named "Pico8"
  3. Save the Pico8.tmLanguage file there.

Color Scheme

  1. Open up your Packages folder by going Preferences >> Browse Packages...
  2. Create a new folder named "Color Scheme - Pico8"
  3. Save the Pico8.tmThere file there.

Editor Settings

Note that the setting file uses an unofficial PICO-8 font from RhythmLynx posted in this thread http://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3109 -- download and install that first!

  1. Open up your Packages folder by going Preferences >> Browse Packages...
  2. Open up the folder "User"
  3. Save the Pico8.sublime-settings file there.

You're done!

Notes

There may be some colors and stuff that aren't 100% accurate to pico8 itself, I mainly just worked off some existing theme and language files. Since I just copy-pasted those files and made revisions, I probably didn't even package them properly -- I see UUIDs and stuff in there that I didn't bother to change. Anyway! It seems to work and I didn't want to spend all day, so good enough.
