pico8-api's Issues

Info on coroutines need update

In the latest manual (https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico8_manual.txt):
coresume returns a bool value, and can take additional parameters as the coroutine's parameters.
costatus now returns one of three string value: "running","suspended","dead"

Copied from official manual for convenience

:: Coroutines

	Coroutines offer a way to run different parts of a program in a somewhat concurrent 
	way, similar to threads. A function can be called as a coroutine, suspended with 
	yield() any number of times, and then resumed again at the same point.
	
		function hey()
			print("doing something")
			yield()
			print("doing the next thing")
			yield()
			print("finished")
		end
		
		c = cocreate(hey)
		for i=1,3 do coresume(c) end
	
	
	cocreate f
	
		Create a coroutine for function f.
		

	coresume c [p0 p1 ..]
	
		Run or continue the coroutine c. Parameters p0, p1.. are passed to the
		coroutine's function.
		
		Returns true if the coroutine completes without any errors
		Returns false, error_message if there is an error.
		
		** Runtime errors that occur inside coroutines do not cause the program
		to stop running. It is a good idea to wrap coresume() inside an assert().
		If the assert fails, it will print the error message generated by 
		coresume.
		
		assert(coresume(c))


	costatus c
	
		Return the status of coroutine c as a string:
			"running"
			"suspended"
			"dead"
	
	yield
		
		Suspend execution and return to the caller.

How do I build

what am I supposed to do

SUGGESTION: Also include musical notes on piano image?

I often find that I know the notes that I want to enter into PICO-8 (e.g. E, C#, A, etc.), but have NO IDEA which keys map to which note.
So, was thinking it might be helpful if your (already v.useful) piano image also included the musical notes (for those of us that aren't piano players!)
I realise this may be a bit tricky as there are different octaves, but either way - wondered if you though this would be as useful as I would?
Thanks! 😃

The number of player should be noted

In the Input section, the number of player is written like PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2, which is referenced as 0-based index in code.

There should be a note or warning about this.
