Hi Nick,

If you're a python guy - consider hachoir to help reverse engineer binary formats

Hey, I'm looking to recreate a decoder for NAPLPS, an '80s binary vector format, to restore some art games made at InterAccess in Toronto in time for the 35th anniversary of the project next year.

I thought an InkScape import plugin might be a great place to start--I have the NAPLPS spec and examples collected here:

The holdup is, I've never worked with binary formats before, so I was wondering if anybody had advice how to best start tackling the problem?

Thanks!
Nick
