LMS file structure

[hacky97]

Hi Arturo, I found your repo when Googling for .lms file import.
I notice you call the lms file binary in your readme. I really want to exchange sourcecode with my son, I investigated some further: When you open the lms file in a text editor, you see the first 2 characters are PK. This is a remnant from the old DOS "pkzip" The mother of all zip programs. You can rename the lms file to zip and doubleclick it. inside you wil find scratch.sb3. This is supposedly a scratch file. If you want to dig further: rename this file to zip too and doubleclick it to find inside a project.json. This is an ugly formatted json formatted file.

Hi Arjan. I think it is fantastic that you have this as a hobby together with your son.

Thank you very much for shedding some light into the .lms files! It is a very interesting file structure within them. It really makes me wonder what was the design process behind them. I have incorporated your findings here.

Thanks for the credits Arturo. Let's hope that some day we can easily share between desktop and mobile and put scratch files in version control. (A workaround would be to just put the Jason file in Git) Arjan
