Talk:Thds

yay. looks awesome :)

can't wait to play this ^^ i just hope the collision detection won't slow it down too much. good luck! :)

• Thanks you! ^^ ... it wont slow down much, its doing collisions already at the top right i have graze counter, does not use much cpu at all using this bit of code, which i took from PA_Lib:

//yes ripped str8 from palib, but hey u guys did okai here :D
extern inline u64 thDistance(s32 x1, s32 y1, s32 x2, s32 y2) {
   s64 h = x1 - x2;
   s64 v = y1 - y2;
   return(h*h + v*v);
}

• Runs quite fast, am concerned a bit about line-circle collisions and laser rendering but have a good bit of cpu still free. ^^ Eris

wow! thats so cool!!!

I like TH and I like DS !!

best regards!!!

When are we going to be able to play this?

• hopefully soon, still working on behind the scenes stuffs. There is a mostly working demo from like 6 months back but it uses some of zun's original music and don't feel should put it up publicly. I'll try to get another demo soon as possible. ^^ Eris

Thanks ^_^.

Another question. Are we going to get focus?

• well atm, the player character changes speed and switches bullet patterns when the right shoulder button is pressed. need to add a character based delay however. Eris

Great. Thanks for answering. Hope this project gets completed some day. :]

• it is coming together finally :P Eris

And One Last Question.

When/If this is released, will it have DLDI support so on all flashcards this can be played?

• Yes, already it supports dldi and i plan to use the FAT filesystem for replay data storage at a later date.. :D Eris

HOPE THAT SUCH A GOOD GAME WILL COME TO US IN SOON~~

Alright. Another question. Sorry for asking so many.

I was browsing some forums, and this link popped up. http://weeaboo.nl/ . It's a link to another person creating a Touhou homebrew. Not sure if you've seen it, but since it's open source, you might as well if you haven't. [You need to use iDeaS, or a flashcart. I couldn't get it to work on other emu's.]

• Because it doesnt work on anything but iDeaS, and doesnt work either on my flashcart haven't looked at it too much. Seems nice in the DIY Danmaku-fu style. Slightly envious they used the 3D engine to render sprites, but I'll save that technique for Thds02 :P

Now, for a question. ZUN's Music is quite known to be..Let's say.."Epic". Thoguh we did get a sample of songs, are we going to get some beautiful soundtracks?

• I hope._. Worked really hard on the music, but to me it still sounds a bit amateurish, u_u;; Think it's gonna work with the game, have had a few positive comments thus far. Can definitely say am improving. ^^ Listen to Zun's original soundtracks all the time, mostly the pc98 ones because those are favorites. <3<3

distance Part2

• Maybe you can use this for an approx. version of distance...no multiplication at all

/* Aprox. Distance between two 2D points
  s32 = signed 32 bit = mostly int 
*/
  s32  distanceApprox (s32 x1, s32 y1, s32 x2, s32 y2) {
 
        const s32 A=abs(x1-x2);
        const s32 B=abs(y1-y2);
        const s32 C=min(A,B)>>1;
 
        return (A+B-C);
}

bye A128

Well. I just finished Imperishable Nights [Extra included], for my first time. Now that I look back on it, I've been playing the game quite often for almost 5 months. [Not every day.] To me, that's quite an accomplishment. But now that I beat it, this question popped into my head. Does this game have the same motives as the Touhou series? [I'll explain..]

We all know that Touhou is about patterns, and just having fun, rather than pure impossible-ness. Are you trying to achieve this?

And to wrap it up, yet another question. What's the name of this game going to be? Touhou DS sounds..Bland.
