I'm adding some things that weren't clear about the demo I put up.
Starting the game:
There were some troubles with this. Touhou should always be run from the homescreen, by selecting Asm( from the catalog.
Running Touhou from a shell WILL cause trouble. Doors CS is known to be incompatible because it messes with the interrupt.
Do NOT use Doors CS, Nimbus OS, or any other shell that claims to run nostub programs.
Controls:
At the splash screen, press any button that is not [2nd] or [ALPHA]. Up and down navigate in the menu, pushing a corresponding number works too. Note that the different difficulties don't actually do anything. [ENTER] selects an option.
The arrow keys move the player sprite. Diagonal movement is possible by holding down two keys. Shooting is done automatically for now.
Pressing [CLEAR] stops the game.
Gameplay
Dodge the enemy bullets and hit the enemies with your own bullets. After a while they die. After defeating all waves of enemies the game stops and returns to the homescreen. Nothing surprising here.
Supported Emulators:
-PindurTI with TI-83+ ROM
-WabbitEmu with TI-83+ ROM
Any version of VirtualTI or the Flash Debugger is unsupported. Don't try it, I have no idea what will happen.
I guess it should work in Wabbit with an 84+ ROM, I haven't tested it though.
Tested calculators:
-TI-83+: The program was designed for this calc and should run flawlessly.
-TI-84+(SE): Various users have confirmed that it runs without noticeable speed problems or crashes, but I haven't seen it myself.
The TI-82 and TI-83 are not supported, Touhou will not run now or ever on these calculators.
About the nSpire: Can someone with a non-CAS nSpire test if the game works with the 84+ keyboard?

| it should be okay if you're not using undocumented instructions. |

[post="126791"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] The problem is interrupts. Doors CS has it's own interrupt for some reason, and I think mirageOS does too (but that one doesnt run my program to begin with anyway).
The 84+'s also have new interrupt frequencies that might be different from the 83+ and the emulators.
Interrupts were also the reason that Wabbit used to shit itself when running my game.
Also, I think my sprite routine uses an undocumented shift function  .

| Well using undocumented instructions is only an issue for assemblers. They actual instructions exist on all calcs (except the nspire) so it should be all good there! |

You could, I do it for every game I make.
Of course this would be an alternative to the normal play mode. Or you could have several levels alternate randomly between themselves. |

It could be a bonus round that activates if you don't get hit at all during a level. You could also do a survival mode to see how long you last. |

| I think the reason randomly generated levels might not work is that from what i've gathered this game isn't bullets randomly generated at different times, it's arranging the enemies so that their bullets form patterns on the screen for the player to weave in and out of while they take shoot the enemy ships. Randomly generated enemies might create a formation of bullets that the player can't dodge. Although an alternative could be storing a collection of formations that are possible to win and choosing to load a random one after the previous was completed. |

| that makes a little more sense now. I was wondering why he originally wanted to hardcode levels. didn't realize it was pretty intricate. |

| That would be very much possible. Of course the trick is making in so that it gets incrementally more difficult, for example by increasing the HP of the enemies. |

both ideas would probably increase the lifetime of a single play through (instead of getting to the end of phoenix and just playing through w/o scoring at the end). |

| It's not showing up in MarageOS? What shell is this being designed for, out of curiosity? |

Take a look at the date of the last reply – this project is no longer actively being worked on.
As for shells, you might be interested in [post="126782"]this post[/post] from earlier inside this thread.
(It's on this very page, if you'll read backward through it a little bit.)

Hey guys,
good to see there's interest in my project. You might wonder what happened over the last year. Basically, I've been busy with work for the last year, but I've finished most of that now so I should be having a lot more time now.
(I won't go into much detail, basically it was a function that lasted from october 2008 to october 2009)
I'm still very much motivated for this project but I just haven't had much time at all for the last year. I'll try to get something running next week or so. The biggest problem is that I more or less broke the program while trying to convert it to application format. I like apps but this program isn't really fit for them because of all the buffers and everything.
I'll probably revert the app conversion to get something working fast, add some sprites and levels and maybe work on some cool bullet patterns.
I'll also try to get some story elements working, probably just talk boxes with loli pictures. |
