  • Parsing Cart Metadata
    1 project | /r/pico8 | 2 Apr 2022
    I am struggling to find information on how to parse metadata (Cart ID, author, cart version, etc.) from downloaded carts. In my use case, I am looking for the cart ID, but I'm sure the other information will be useful. From my understanding, stat(101) should give me the ID, but the issue is that I am running from a local cart, not off of the BBS, so printing stat(101) always returns "[nil]". Similarly, stat(102) returns "0", meaning I am running from a local file. I have looked at picotool, but the stats command there returns code and other token information, which isn't useful to me. I am familiar with Python, so I can parse the data myself if it comes to that. I just don't know where I should look for that information.

    Atom (with language-pico8) in combination with picotool is my choice. I just use PICO-8 for creating assets and testing which can all be automated with a Makefile.
