TO LOAD THIS CART in immediate mode, type: load #freeroamingdirectory
big thanks to @b0b89 and @merwok for information in ls() its use in Pico-8.
What this program does is give you a real directory of where you are when you run it. It will not work online because you must save the cart first. It is for use in the Pico-8 OS only.
Use arrow keys to navigate. Press 🅾️ to select that file, print it out, and exit.
NOTE ! You must save this cart as a new filename if loaded Online, from Splore, or loaded from # in order for a directory to appear.
Because of the limitations of the language, unfortunately, you cannot change directories.
I am hoping in time this will change opening up the cd command so you can roam other directories besides just the one it is running in - and to allow viewing all files, not just p8p8l and png.p8 but true .png.jpg.bmp.gif and txt as well as recognizing directories inside that directory.
