Saving a project with save @url at https://www.pico-8-edu.com/ does not include the map.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open https://www.pico-8-edu.com/
  2. Type load
  3. Select a cartridge with a map, for example
    Cart #wadajugupi-0 | 2022-05-15 | Code ▽ | Embed ▽ | License: CC4-BY-NC-SA
    1

  4. Type save @url
  5. Copy the URL in the browser and open in a new tab. (URL in my case)
  6. Observe that the map data is missing (code and sprites are not missing)

Expected result

In 6, I expect the map data to be present like in the original cartridge and in step 3.

I got caught out by this as well (expecting the same result), but I think it is by design. From the original post https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=47278 -

> the URL CARTRIDGE. GFX and CODE can be encoded as a URL string, as long as it fits within 2040 characters

So seems intentional that there's no MAP data.


Oh, thanks, I see. I tried to look for why, but didn't see that. I guess it's a way to diversify the free and paid product, which understandable.

I worked around it by encoding it in a long list of numbers, which seems to be in the hacker spirit of pico-8.


That's a nice solution. Surprising how much you can fit into 2k
