Playdate-LuaCATS: VSCode autocomplete, types and inline Playdate SDK documentation

SDK Development Discussion

tldr: I've improved playdate-luacats types. git pull your local clone to get them.

I am excited to announce that I finally figured out how to do types for object.lua classes including extends(), super(), init() and the Object base class. You can see the changes here:

Also came up with a small workaround you may want to consider to explicitly show lua-language-server where a new class in the global namespace was created.

Instead of:

class('MySprite').extends(playdate.graphics.sprite)

Use:

MySprite = class('MySprite').extends(playdate.graphics.sprite) or MySprite

@abusch: Excited to hear it's working with NeoVim via .luarc.json! That's fucking awesome!
