Here's a flute I made for a track in my current project. I tried to capture the breathy harmonics that happen on the attack of a note. After the note is held, it goes into a looping tremelo.
I didn't switch on the reverb here, but I am using it with medium reverb on the pattern in my track.
For a softer sound, you can use the fade-in effect (4), or alternate between fading in and hard attack for more variety in sound. I've also had success with using a fast arpeggio between 2 notes for a trill effect.
Feel free to use it in your projects under CC4-BY-NC-SA license. Enjoy!

My family like the online word game Waffle but wanted to play more than once a day. So I wrote them this version in Pico-8. Along the way I reimagined it as an 8-bit console title with sound effects, music, particles, multiple levels, ramping difficulty, and a final “boss battle” that you unlock by completing all the preceding levels.
How to Play
Scrambled words are arranged in a grid. Unscramble all the words by swapping pairs of letters. You have a limited number of swaps to complete each level. Run out of swaps and you have to try again. Complete the level with swaps left over to score points.

Hi
I'm a fresher of pico-8, so I want to read some exist object code.
The default font is hard to read in launcher, so I try to use some editor like vs-code to open the cartridge file(*.p8.png), but it seems like it is a binary file and unreadable.
Anyone have some advises?

based on the win animation from kirby's dream land

Dart-07
A scrolling shooter. As the Dart-07 you fight on Emerald Islands, Outpost in Space, and in the interstellar Phoslar Mine |
This is a PICO-8 game, which I made during Basic Shmup Showcase event organised by Lazy Devs Academy.
You can play it here and on https://beetrootpaul.itch.io/dart-07 .
โ ๏ธ Please be aware this game is under development. Mission 1 is complete and ready to play, but you enter missions 2 and 3 on your own risk ๐
If you want to take a look at the codebase, please visit https://github.com/beetrootpaul/dart-07 (the code inside PICO-8 carts of this game is minified, therefore not suitable for reading).

This is a tool for creating and editing splines within your game. I used this initally for a shmup i was working on where I wanted to create an intresting enemy flight pattern.
The black area represents a 128x128 screen.
Just click in the points you want then press CTRL+C to copy to clipboard This will copy all points to the clipboard as a string.
This string can be then used within your game.
This is what I use it for.
You can test out pasting of splines here. Also this cart has code for handling the splines.

A little texture-mapped graphics engine with BSP-tree models and fog shading.
Doesn't even try to maintain 30 FPS consistently :-)
- Player one controls aim.
- Player two controls strafe.
- X/O moves up and down.
I still don't have a plan for this cart.

Another Space Invaders clone! I just fancied having a go at writing one, and then the particles and themes happened.
Bonus points if you get all the references...

Hi @zep:
I was giving this some thought and think it would be good and interesting to have the ability to import a picture to sprite-sheet (or memory) directly through the import command thus:
import("?.png",0xe000,0x2000)
So in this case a file-box would appear and you can select importing a 128x128 16-color PNG directly to memory contents 0xe000. It could be a picture or an 8192-byte data file saved as a PNG.
And the opposite could also be true:
export("?.png",0x6000,0x2000)
Which would also open a filebox and this time give you a chance to save off the current screen as a single 128x128 16-color PNG file.
Defaults are memory location 0x6000 and length of 0x2000, so if you chose, export("?.png") it would save memory location 0x6000 (screen) length of 0x2000 (8192-bytes) to external file of user choosing.
' save 0xe000-0xffff to png
function savedata()
print("save your world data")
export("?.png",0xe000)
end

It's Celeste, but with low gravity. All levels and berries are possible. I modified some of the levels and changed the terrain color, but otherwise all that has been changed is your walk speed, gravity, and fall speed.
Have fun!

You successfully hyperspaced behind the enemy bug alien invaders to their incubation caves, but alas - your ship's controls are horribly damaged. It only fires when you turn and when you turn it slowly gets faster and faster. What's more, you can't stop the ship...
Try to take out as many of the enemy egg-pods before you crash into the cave walls.
Use LEFT and RIGHT to steer - and shoot.
Made for the Pico1K game jam 2022. The game fits into 1KB of compressed PICO-8 code thanks to cutting out anything extra and to Shrinko-8's minifying mode.
This is the same as the entry, but without the code minification and some explanatory comments added.

First pass at a physics engine for a sailing game I've been thinking of.
Left and right turn the tiller/rudder/whatever it's called.
Up and down changes the rowing speed.
X raises sails, Z lowers sails.
In an actual game, you could sail around between islands, getting cargo (changing mass which effects physics engine), upgrading ship parts, getting food for crew (effecting rowing power), using magic to change wind direction.
It sometimes gets stuck when you're rowing against the wind and trying to turn into it. I'm pretty happy as a first pass. Had to review a lot of trig and diff-eq stuff from college.

Pico-Leaf!
๐๐๐๐๐
CONTROLS
X Button - switch between rake and gloves
DESCRIPTION
Pico-Leaf is a easy going raking simulator with no other goals then to clear a lawn of an endless amount of leaves. Use the rake to pile the leaves up, then press X to switch to gloves. With the gloves, you can pick up the leaves and dump them into the compost bin. The more leaves deposited, the bigger the explosion! Its fun to leave it running for a bit so you can grab a big pile of leaves all at once!
Made with Pico-8 for Cozy Autumn Jam 2022

I was exporting stuff to be a web export, because I have a website with my games on it. But, do the HTML and JavaScript files both have to be included?
on a somewhat -somewhat- unrelated topic, I made this cool post a while ago and nobody saw it. It's a website maker for all you people wanting your own website.
