I think this is worthy of a double post  . A new screenshot, showing that you can get hit by enemies now:
[attachment=2438:attachment]
You can see the second number decreasing if you get hit, that's the number of lives left.
There's also level support now, new enemies just appear after you killed the last wave. They don't fly in like in cjgone's shooter but it works.
And now the big news....
First public alpha
[attachment=2439:attachment]
Download and send to your calculator. It should work on anything that's 83+ compatible. Note that this was never tested on actual hardware (although pindurTI is excellent, it's not the same) and might crash your calculator. Backup all your important data, or test this in an emulator.
Try if you can beat it without losing a life. |

Nice, looks good.
Erm, you can fly into the enemies and not get hurt. Not sure if that's intended or if you're planning to add collision for that. ;o

| are the scanlines when you go inverted caused by the emulator? |

[post="126114"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] Yes, pindurTI has a weird way of rendering the fading of the pixels. I finally got around to testing it on actual hardware, and it didn't have scanlines. It works fine too, don't be scared that it will ruin your calculator . |

| why don't you use wabbitemu? i find the default LCD physics are little better on wabbit |

| I have no problem with pindurTI, the emulation is near perfect. |

| I just set the LCD up/down velocity to 100 all the time. But I think Pindur's doing an accurate portrayal of LCD refreshing. |

[post="126125"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] OK, I found out that touhou barely even works on WabbitEmu. On pindurTI, it behaves exactly like the actualy calc. However, it's way too fast on WabbitEmu! I'm not even emulating an 84+, and even if I were, I never set fast mode so there would be no reason for these ridicilous speeds.
I'm guessing it has something to do with interrupts. |

[post="126316"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] 1.18, I dumped it myself from the latest TI-OS. I have no problems whatsoever with pindurTI, and the problem is almost certainly caused by wrong interrupt frequencies. |

| Yea, I tried the game on Wabbit and the speed was way to fast. |

I posted in the bug report thread, Spencer says he will look into it.
Have people found other problems after running the alpha? It should be almost bug-free, but there might be problems in there that I couldn't find. How does it run on the 83+SE and 84+? |

I have an 84+ SE, and it seems to run at a manageable pace. Mind you, I only tried it on easy, but it seems like it's working.
By the way, it looks like a great game. I'm excited for it. |

[post="126404"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] There's no difference between difficulties yet  , they all run the same level. What you see now will probably become Normal difficulty.
How is the speed on the 84+SE compared to the screenshots? The 83+ and 84+ seem to have different interrupt speeds, it might even run slower on your calculator because of that. |

It seemed to run a tiny bit faster (from what I can tell) but it was really difficult for me to notice a difference. Mind you, my calculator isn't in front of me, so I'm going by memory, but that's what it seems like.
I have noticed that other games run noticeably slower on the 84+, however. Breakout, for example seems to go about twice as slow on the 84+, making the 83+ challenging when switching over to, say, try and beat a friend's score. Hopefully this game won't have too much of a difference, but I understand that the interrupts may be somewhat different. |

| I talked with Spencer, and I fixed the WabbitEmu problems. It turned out to be a bug in Wabbit, but a change in my interrupt code allows Touhou to be run fine without changing the emulator. |

Wow. I'm amazed that anyone else had even heard of these games. I'm pretty excited.
But it's going to be hard to do this on an 83+. Paschal Moon-Reflecting Satellite Slash!
Are you planning on sticking with the teeny-tiny hitbox? Because that does tend to change gameplay a lot. Also, if it were me, I wouldn't do the character portraits for the spell cards because that would get annoying without transparency.
It looks awesome! |
