File system help

[HezkoreParticipant]

I can’t for the life of me find the information (which I’m sure I’ve read somewhere…) about how the file system in Monkey 2 works.
I know you can use asset:: but what else can I use, and how exactly is it used?
It doesn’t feel like basic stuff like this should be this hard to find. :/

For examining/modifying filsystem, see std.filesystem namespace:

http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/mx2-docs/std-std-filesystem/

For reading writing to files, see std.stream.FileStream:

http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/mx2-docs/std-std-stream-FileStream/

…and the std.stream.Stream class it extends…

I sadly see no info on how asset:: works there.

I mean I know you can do like #Import “assets/blah.png” and load via “asset::blah.png”
But where’s the specific info about that?
How would I know that I had to use asset:: like that if it’s not in the Docs?
Is there anything else than asset:: I can use?

But where’s the specific info about that?

There isn’t any yet as I haven’t written it! It’s on the to do list, along with 1001 other things.

But there’s nothing particularly tricky about it beyond what everyone has been using it for to date.
