🪐 Pyxel Config Lab: New External Tool for YAML Configurations ✨🛰️

Summary: I contributed a brand-new online tool—Pyxel Config Lab—introduced in the official Pyxel 2.14 release. The tool enables users to build YAML configuration files visually, browse model documentation, explore examples, and access tutorials directly from the browser.

Scope: feature(config-tool)

Status: Merged

Official Release Note: Pyxel 2.14

✨🦕 Why

Creating YAML configuration files for Pyxel is often complex, and newcomers may struggle with formatting and navigating the documentation. Pyxel Config Lab addresses this by offering an intuitive visual builder that guides users through parameters and provides instant documentation lookup and ready-to-use examples.

This lowers the barrier to entry, speeds up workflow, and improves the overall usability of Pyxel for researchers, developers, and mission teams.
