PicoStuff

Feeling Pico, might delete later idk.

To build, .Net Core is required. Then run dotnet build in the project folder.

What It Is

Basically, it's a chunk parser/extractor for pico8.dat. I suppose this readme will also contain any information I've discovered about the contents or format.

What It Isn't

It's not picotool, which is aimed at tools for Pico-8 cartridges.

What Sucks About It

This is what you get when you mix whisky and code. That said, this is more of a to-do list:

• Unknown CFIL entries - there's "." which is fun but easily handled. Others seem to have unicode filenames?
• I think CFIL entries with 0 size specified are folder names. File creation seems to bear this out, but...weird. I'm already creating paths automatically, but maybe I'm not supposed to.
• CBMP looks fairly simple, but still unknown format.
• I have some documentation on CPAL, but didn't implement it.

pico8.dat chunk types

• CPOD - I guess these are "pods". They look like generic container headers.
• CBMP - Bitmaps. Looks like these may also contain CPAL
• CFIL - File. After CFIL, next 32-bit uint is the chunk size, next 64 bytes are the filename (empty space zero-filled).
