What's Fixed

✅ No more false errors on PICO-8's compound assignment operators (+=, -=, *=, etc.)
✅ No more errors on PICO-8 cartridge format sections (gfx, gff, headers, etc.)
✅ PICO-8 callback functions (_init, _update, _draw, etc.) now recognized as valid globals
✅ Whitespace preservation in .p8 files

Technical Details

The extension now automatically configures the Lua language server to ignore .p8 files, preventing syntax errors from standard Lua linting while still providing PICO-8-specific syntax highlighting.
Install: Download the .vsix file below or update from the VS Code Marketplace
