Does anybody have any experience using the Playdate Lua SDK with JetBrains/IntelliJ IDEs? If so, do you have any hints on which, if any, plugins you use, how to set up running and debugging with the simulator, and any other suggestions or gotchas?

Thanks in advance,

The EmmyLua plugin is the defacto.

Thanks! Any guidance on debugging? Is there any way to integrate the simulator with the IDE to enable use of the IDE's debugger? Anything else I should be on the lookout for?

I haven't tried to yet, the dev experience on VS Code was better for Lua, mostly thanks to WhiteBrim's template that sets up the builds and intellisense.

The Simulator does support a debug protocol, but I haven't set it up.
