Crosspost from United-TI (http://www.unitedti.org/index.php?showtopic=8052), pictures might not work.
Touhou Project 83+ (updated August 18th)
A port of the famous Japanese danmaku (bullet curtain) shoot 'em up game. The game is made primarily for the 83+. It should work on the 83+SE, 84+, 84+SE and nSpire (with 84+ keyboard) because of backwards-compatibility. However, support for fast mode or special 84+ features isn't planned.
A movie of typical gameplay of the original can be found here (http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=BL8OqEnrkeA).
First public alpha

Hi Leofox, this project looks awesome, I'll have to try it when I get some time, did you draw the pictures yourself because they look nice.
I assume this is inspired from the same game than Iambian is inspiring himself from, right? I notice some differences though. I hope you finish this
-
Aww, man. I didn't want to have competition here at this stage of my project...
...eh... uhm, I mean...
Nice work on what's already achieved, especially them character graphics. So much in such a little bit of time, too...
-
Thanks Iambian, cool that you are working on it too!
I've been working on this since late June, most of the work was done in that last week of June and in the second week of August. Lately I've just been way too busy to do anything.
Maybe you can give me a little help on the timing and the bullet patterns? As you can see my hardest pattern is just that 3 bullets that Cirno shoots in an angle. I can't really get her to shoot more than one wave each pattern. For some reason she floods the screen with bullets every time I try. I guess Cirno really is a (9) Baka.
Seriously though, it's a big timing issue.
-
I guess Cirno really is a (9) Baka.
Naw, it isn't her... it's just you :P
-
I've designed a little event system to make timed events a bit less shitty, and I'm in the process of converting this to an application.
Not much other progress so far, I'm extremely busy at the moment but I might make a bit of progress in the weeks of Christmas, when I finally have some free time.
For now, take a look at the engine totally maxing out:
(http://hentai.student.utwente.nl/lolbullets2.gif)
I'm managing about 6-10 fps at a max of 192 bullets and 12 enemies or so. I had to disable player-death, but all collision checks still occur, so this is as slow as it's ever going to be. It's still pretty playable with all these bullets and enemies on the screen.
If it looks awfully slow and choppy, use Opera or Firefox 3. Google Chrome and any IE version (apparently that includes the "show picture" program in Windows) fail at rendering my screenshot properly.
-
Very nice, this version looks quite different from Iambian's. They will both be sure to be on my calc when finished
-
I just realized that the engine wasn't maxed out yet, you can see it for yourself even. The second number on the left is the number of bullets, it doesn't exceed 175.
Meh, the game will never have that amount of bullets either way.

i just realized the strange magician screencap is doing the caramelldansen!! ^_^

You get ten points for noticing that! It was actually converted from a Touhou caramelldansen movie, might be fun to have on the credits screen :)
-
actually, since a carmelldansen .gif consists of at least three images, you could do it.
hah, that would be pretty cool.
-
This project isn't dead! I'm still working on a few things, but sadly the main code was broken when I tried to convert it all to an application.
-
heh! I want this project completed for the caramelldansens alone! :)
-
Hope you complete this leofox, it really was looking great and I am sure it would be a very challenging game to enjoy!
