Properly name of cart.tic software in website

[paradadf]

Hi! https://tic.computer/play shows games like MARIO BROS? or 8 BIT PANDA "VIRTUAL BOY" EDITION, which contains character which are invalid in filenames like ? or ". The names per-se aren't a problem, but downloading the softwares and naming the carts are, at least in order to have an unified convention, because all cartridges are named cart.tic. Would it be possible to name the carts officially?

If you're looking to quickly download the carts, I've put this together:

Thanks! Really helpful. But I'm thinking more of offical cart names à la no-intro (just to get an idea). This might be helpful as well ;)

This is pretty cool!

I've just used the titles for the names in thumbnails:

Figured the rest of the metadata could be useful in the database instead (cart ID, release date, etc).

Fixed on the server, also client shows filesystem safe filenames (cd18681), like:

 TIC-80 tiny computer
 version 0.90.1695-dev Pro (28fd122)
 https://tic80.com (C) 2017-2021
