Yet another shooter

Iambian:
This post is just to announce that I'm working on a danmaku SHMUP. The sort of gameplay that the game will have will be modeled after Touhou Project 7 : Perfect Cherry Blossom.

I do expect to put up a screen shot as soon as I can get something that demonstrates the engine instead of the already-working grayscale. Before I can demonstrate, though... I've got to finish that part of the engine.

So, no screen shot. Yet.

But while I'm posting, I want to ask for a name for the application and a name for the project. At first, I've tried BH83, and then ClcSHMUP, but none of those really satisfy me. Maybe it's just me...
DJ Omnimaga:
"danmaku" sounds so much like Damakaru on IRC O.o (randomist/insanity nickname the last time I saw him), I hope you finish this project though, this sounded rather promising. I can't wait for screenies when possible.

As for name, I might try to get some ideas in the next days, altough I can't promise anything x.x
Tribal:
What about 'BulletHell'?
kalan_vod:
Sounds great, I would love to see something more on this as the plans/features :P
Iambian:
The engine in its most stripped down form is nearly done, but I still need to test the main parts for its goodness. I've already tested the maintenance routines used to keep track of the tables, but as I've said before.

Also, I'm considering dropping grayscale support since too much time is needed for the engine. I may end up adding that back in later as I can come up with a better idea of what my timings will be and what additional methods I can come up with to do what I want to do.

Expect a screenshot of simply the movement engine functioning pretty soon. Maybe with a little extra just to make the thing look reminiscent of an actual game.
