Hello there!

I've been dabbling in pico-8 for about 2 years now, I've only just got into proper development with it these past few months though. I'm wondering if there might be a way to get URL parameters in the browser to use in the cartridge?

I've managed to compress my level design to a string of about 25 characters, and I thought it would be really cool for players to easily share their levels by simply copying the URL. Of course I would need to host the cartridge on my own site, perhaps there's a way to run the cartridge with parameters using JavaScript?

Pico within a web-page supports communitation with the outside world via GPIO (see manual). Essentially you can pass as much information as you want to your running program.

Oh brilliant, this is perfect. Thank you! Evidently I just looking for the wrong key words in the manual. :)
