A LFL file is made of several resources, stored as chunks.

A chunk starts with its size stored as an UInt16LE followed by the data of the specified size. Then the next chunk starts with its size...

This continues until the end of file.

Bytes	Data
2 bytes (UInt16LE)	Size of chunk 1
xx bytes	Data for chunk 1
2 bytes (UInt16LE)	Size of chunk 2
xx bytes	Data for chunk 2
...	...

The first chunk contains the room resource, following by one or more of:

• Room graphic resources
• Script resources
• Sound resources
• Costume resources
• Charset resources
