Share code and sprites (via github or any file host)
Use require() to use modules in your own carts
Code in any IDE you want
Auto-reload carts on save

Installation

Download the executable

You can grab the executable for your platform from releases page →

^{- On macOS or linux, you may want to copy the executable into /usr/bin.}
^{- On windows, you may want to add the executable to your PATH.}

p8's Issues

p8 run only works with macos

In Monterey, Applescript app not allowed to send keystrokes (1002)

I have an Applescript application named "New" and I get the above message whenever I run it. I have other similar Applescript apps that have the same problem. "New" is a simple 1-line applescript to create a new folder:

      tell application “System Events” to keystroke “n” using {command down, shift down}

I have given script editor and "New" Full Disk Access and Accessibility in the Security & Privacy pref pane.

This error began when I upgraded to Monterey. I created variations of "New", for example accessing "New Finder Window" from Finder's File menu, but all of my attempts run into this same problem. I have restarted the Finder many times, and even rebooted a few times, but the error persists.

p8 spamming stderr with moonc

To fix I had to remove moonc (despite your annotation it was still being required), remove it from dependencies and remove .moon compilation, otherwise the tool was unusable on linux because moon was spamming into (fake) sderr constant stream:

stderr: lua: cannot open /snapshot/p8/node_modules/moonc/moon.lua: No such file or directory
stderr:
stderr: lua: cannot open /snapshot/p8/node_modules/moonc/moon.lua: No such file or directory
stderr:
stderr: lua: cannot open /snapshot/p8/node_modules/moonc/moon.lua: No such file or directory
stderr:

This utility will help you quickly create a p8.json file.
This file will keep track of basic info and the dependencies of your project.

Use p8 add <filepath or url> afterwards to save dependencies in p8.json.

error on p8 init

Installed lua, moonscript and your tool (p8)
But when running p8 init I get this error ... any idea why?

I'm on OSX 10.11 El Capitan

osascript is not allowed to send keystrokes

When I make a change to my lua file and the build auto-reloads, it throws an error running the applescript to send Cmd+R to PICO-8. The error message is:

execution error: System Events got an error: osascript is not allowed to send keystrokes.

I tried adding osascript and p8 under System Preferences > Privacy > Accessibility, but no luck. Is there some other thing required to give the script the right permissions?
