What is a .URLX file?
A .URLX file is a special type of file used in a game called URLX, which you can play in your web browser. This game is all about rhythm and music. The .URLX file contains instructions in a format called JSON, which is a way to organize and store information so that both humans and computers can understand it easily. These instructions tell you which buttons to press while a song is playing in the game, making sure you hit the right notes at the right time.
Besides the instructions for the game, the .URLX file also includes important details about the song you're playing. It tells you the name of the song, how fast it goes (that's the beats per minute or BPM), and how many notes you should expect in each measure of the song. This helps the game match the music's rhythm and pace, making it more fun and challenging to play.
You can open and look at a .URLX file using different programs that let you edit text. These programs include Vim, Microsoft Notepad, which comes with Windows, and Apple TextEdit, which comes with macOS. These are all basic text editors that let you see and change the contents of text files. If you're using a Chromebook, you can use Google Chrome's text editor, which is also included with the operating system.
Even though these text editors let you open and view .URLX files, to actually use the file as intended (to play a song in the URLX game), you would need to load it into the URLX game through your web browser. This is because the game needs to read the file and use the instructions inside to create the gameplay experience.
