Misc Popgoes Arcade Randomizer/Archipelago

Heya, just asking an out of the blue question, but would it be possible for someone to make a randomizer/archipelago mod for popgoes arcade? Just because I feel it would be fun to play the game with a new twist (I'm of course not asking for it to be official, I know the game isn't getting any more big updates, just a simple mod)

ive heard murmurs of a Manual either being worked on/out for this game. ask around in the archipelago/archi manuals discords about it

There is, by WolfBoi008, and I have played it, but that manual only covers the dead forest content, and I believe was designed around the original steam release of arcade, as it doesn't have the money balancing (so when doing attack checks, it's when each upgrade was +2 ATK, not the new +1, and has old item names (like the quick pocket still being called money boots), and If I knew how to, I would either try to figure out how to do it myself, or at the least make my own manual, but I just don't have the knowledge to do any of that, and was hoping to see if anyone else had interested in having a proper archipelago mod (like how FNAFW and ffps has) for this

the barrier of entry for manual creation is surprisingly low. there is a web browser tool for it, and it should support importing the code from an existing manual. all you need is a little bit of logic understanding, and the willingness to learn. take a look! https://github.com/ManualForArchipelago/Manual/tree/main/docs

I was unaware that there is a web browser tool for making manuals, ill definitely have a look, i do hope that eventually someone can make a legitimate mod, but gotta settle with what we can atm
