I wanted to throw some sfx instruments I liked into the mix and I wanted to add the instrument I used in my world4 cover (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=41981)
I think it sounds like a flute? I have no idea.
[sfx]
also here's it by it's self too.
Hope this is a good.

This is a duplicate of this earlier piano SFX as far as the midilib project is concerned, but I wanted to share my attempt at replicating ... I think the sample I was referencing was an upright piano? As best as I could.
As with the others, this is free to use, although credit is appreciated; the manual entry on custom SFX instruments should explain how to use it.

No cart preview right now, but posting the SFX so people can use it: my latest best shot at a xylophone sound:

Giving full credit to @packbat and @jo560hs for the suggestion of unique instruments.
This instrument is submitted to @packbat's project, "midilib."
I found a match in standard Midi instruments, however this can be renamed and renumbered by the Midilib team.
This has also been updated, it now only takes one instrument to play, not two.
The instrument is located at SFX zero.

Here is me writing for the very first time, 4-channel music from the opening to a song I wrote for piano years ago, using an instrument I just now made for Pico-8 simply called, "Glass."

ORM by Håkon Lervik
Description
This is a simple Snake clone that i made over the course of a week, just to get over the hurdle of finishing my first game.
Remarks
I am quite happy with the implementation and look of the game. The code is quite simple procedural code, but with a few unreadable hacks here and there. The code is largely uncommented so feel free to ask me if you need me to explain anything.
And if you feel like tearing my code apart, please do! :D I would love to know what I could have done better, although I do already know of a few pieces that need refactoring.

this is meant for a custom sfx library (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=49265)
if you dont know how to use custom sfx check https://www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico-8_manual.html#SFX_Instruments

So, PICO-8's built-in tracker has a startling amount of customization, but it can be kinda tricky actually making a custom SFX instrument when you want one - so a few of us on the Discord, me and @jo560hs and @bikibird, were thinking it might be interesting to look at the list of General Midi 1 instruments as a shopping list and see how many we can knock off.
And as a bonus, if we can complete the list, @jo560hs was talking about possibly making an sf2 soundfont for folks who like playing with those.
So, if you wanna jump in and add stuff to the catalog, the guidelines we decided on for convenience of people hunting down instruments afterwards are these:
- tag the post with
midilib - use a subject line of the format
midi [number] [name] - (ideally, each instrument should be posted in its own thread, so specific ones can be found more easily)
- embed your SFX there so people can hear it and copy it

For anyone who wants it, an SFX imitating an electric guitar with overdrive:

A group of us on the Discord were talking about how it'd be useful it'd be to have a big library of SFX instruments, so here's one I made a while ago to act as a ragtime piano:

A simple game in 762 compressed bytes inspired by Oregon Trail! Post your high scores below!
(Trades are allowed a maximum 5 times and you cannot "reroll" for a better trade.)

This is Simple Shooter
Bullet barrage!
In this short basic shmup (Shoot 'em ups) you will face numerous waves of alien invaders trying to destroy our galaxy. Make them feel the taste of your space bullets and cover them with a barrage of bullets
Game Play
You must shoot down all the aliens. Also, try to collect bonus coins to get special shoots, extra lives, and shields throughout your journey of liberating the galaxy. These power-ups will be very helpful in your task of repealing alien attacks.
Controls
-
Cursor movement: arrow keys
- Fire: Z
- Use special shoots: X
Controllers are also supported.
Development
I made this game based in part on the Basic Shmup Tutorial using Pico-8 for the Basic Shmup Showcase Game Jam

Entry for the PICO-8 1k Jam, where only code is allowed (no sprites or audio) and compressed size is limited to 1024 bytes.
This is a demake of Super Hexagon. Controls are just left and right - avoid the walls for as long as possible! After game over, the game will reset after a short pause. High scores are saved.
Credit for the smallest triangle fill code goes to p01.
Revision 2: removed a remark (facepalm), made a small increase to the wall gaps, tweaked the game over screen to be quicker and wait for a button press, reduced flashing of timer a bit. 4 bytes free but can't really use them anywhere. Thanks for the feedback all.

Hello !
I was unaware that Pico-8 could read raw keystrokes. While we have the ability of reading normal keystrokes, I have not seen any code from others that will register reading and determining whether or not you pressed the LEFT shift key or the RIGHT one.
This program will do just that, in addition to a whole host of other keys - that you really shouldn't press as they could be associated with a function. Yet this program does correctly read function keys for instance, F1-F12. It reads if you pressed CAPS-LOCK, NUMBER-LOCK, SCROLL-LOCK, left CTRL, right CTRL, and every other key on the keyboard.

As the title states, as far as I can tell exported carts (via export cart.bin, HTML works fine) don't have 0.2.2b's "force-pause-menu" on hold feature implemented in any form.
This is preventing me from building an exported Terra, which has the saving functionality as an option in the pause menu, accessed by holding pause while the normal pause key press is used to open the inventory. And I can't work around it easily, because the pause key is only returned the first time it is pressed. (As you probably know, Terra doesn't exactly have much space to spare)
I feel like it should be there. Especially considering this can prevent controllers from exiting the game.
If it's intentional for tools, could it be added as an export flag? So say export cart.bin -s for a "safe" export with the forced pause enabled. Or the opposite, so it uses the same default behaviour as everything else and then an "unsafe" flag would disable it.
