So I've been working on A project called PicoDL, which is my first Cartridge, which I'm very excited to work on. So I did use AI to get a functional prototype, but from there I've only really used it for debugging. Note that I'm brand new to lua and programming in picotron, so it will be a bit until I no longer need AI, but I was wondering if you have any tips to boost my learning, and any ideas for PicoDL?
To use it on the online version, just type picodl in the terminal (if you can somehow access it, otherwise download it), and see it's usage (I'm gonna update it in the future)
Autoupdates are going to be truely auto later, expect more args later. (also I'm gonna remove a few things at some point)

Sorry about the double post but also why not add some sort of user system. For example, what if a school used picotron as education, but you didn't want students trying to access another person's data and games, so they could set up some sort of user and more! This is a more short post than my other one but just asking if this could potentially be a thing.

I was thinking, what if we added internet support, as in full fledged internet support, not just fetch(insertwebsitehere) which grabs the raw data of the site. Because what if one wanted to not have to switch between the picotron app/os and back to their browser to look up information, if they added a built in web browser of some sorts and maybe more than just fetching raw data from a website, maybe even POST and more, it could open a LOT of possibilities with projects.
For example:
- Better automatic update systems for anything that has to do with automatic updates.
- being able to use APIS from the internet.
- making a package manager of some sort that allows users to install more commands an their HELP info. (I would name this PicoPkg)
- full on internet platforms and maybe even some special self hosted stuff.
- just a full on web browser or something, maybe this os could even open html files like chrome or firefox or whatever other web browser you use does.
Plus, imagine if this Fantasy workstation could be used in schools as a working operating system of sorts. If it had a web browser that would be a start, heck maybe even extensions of some sort if one could actually make that, and schools could maybe even create some sort of extension themselves (I would make them go in .pwe64 files maybe) and an app for their students to use.
