With the help of @tty and @d6, we've found a non-intrusive way of adding metadata to #uxn roms, so external programs can see some additional details about the program and also display an icon.

The specs is here: http://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/metadata.html

A stand-alone program to display metadata: https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn/tree/main/item/projects/utils/metadata.tal

Question out of curiosity: Is the icon necessarily stored in the metadata block or is it incidentally the case it might be a resource the app itself uses for something else 😁

@mcc The app can access it as well, if I click Noodle > About in the app, I also get to access this from within itself.

Can the metadata header be executed as uxn opcodes, or should it be written before 0100h?
