What is a .P2C file?
A .P2C file is a special kind of file used by the video game Portal 2, which is a game where you solve puzzles by creating portals to move through different spaces. This file is for puzzles that people playing the game have made to share with others. These puzzles are for playing together with someone else, which is why they are called community or co-operative puzzles.
The .P2C file keeps all the details of how the puzzle is set up. It uses a simple way of describing the space of the puzzle using three directions: right (X), forward (Y), and up (Z). Each point in this space is like a small cube, which is part of the puzzle. Besides the layout of the puzzle, the .P2C file also has extra information like the puzzle's name, a short description, when it was made, and what version it is.
To open a .P2C file, you can use the game Portal 2 itself because it understands this type of file. Inside Portal 2, there is a special tool for making and changing levels (the places where you solve puzzles), and this tool can open .P2C files. If you just want to look at or change the text inside the .P2C file, you can use any program that lets you edit text because the file is saved in a way that is easy to read and write with a text editor.
If you have Portal 2 installed on your computer, you will usually find .P2C files in a specific folder. This folder is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\puzzles\ on your computer. This is where Portal 2 keeps all the community puzzles that you have downloaded or made.
So, if you like making or playing puzzles in Portal 2, the .P2C file is very important because it lets you share your puzzles with other players or download new puzzles to try.
