My Personal Deprecation Post
Before you ask, this is a new addition plugged in here because I couldn't move posts down any further.
Note: This is also invaluable advice for intermediate-level scripters who want to be at CK Crash or Talos's level

Here I will list (with pictures), all of my worst Danmakufu design issues and they will exist here to remind me that when I script, I should actually think about gameplay.

1: Super Complicated Attack, Excessively Simple Dodging
Thanks to CK Crash, the problem has been identified as not micro dodging, but this. I unnecessarily overcomplicate my attacks (in the coding) and when the player plays them, well... They dodge left. Dodge right. Micrododge.

Spells should not just look pretty. They should play well and have unique ways of dodging.

Examples of attacks that fit into this category: (Both MICRODODGE MICRODODGE MICRODODGE and Overcomplicated Messes that are ridiculously simple)
PDD: (MICRODODGE)

PDD: (Overcomplicated Code Implementation for something that wasn't worth it)

Misc. Scripts:

DEC:

2: A Spell with Too Many Parts
As CK Crash once said, a spell is complete when you can no longer take anything away from it.

Examples of attacks that fit into this category:
PDD:

Misc. Scripts:

DEC:


3: Graphical Excessiveness
This is self-explanatory. Blinding the player with ADD Bullets or abusing things not meant to be abused all go into this category.

Edit: Moved the TC Phantasm stuff down to the next post to make space in the thread header.

I am now proud to introduce one of my games!

http://www.mediafire.com/?yaq9337rbqdpqfg

The game is Touhou 13.2: Terranean Cataclysm! However, I am not including the main game and I am not including the Extra Stage. This package only contains the finalized Phantasm Stage (for now).

Reasons: Well, the main game is terrible, with lackluster, random based scripting. I only began using patterns when I reached Stage 8/10, and I didn't even use speed until Stage 7. Simply put, it's not that good. As for the Extra Stage, I don't want my OCs to be stolen. Besides, it deserves a port to Danmakufu, where I can actually bring out the full potential of the script.

Included in this package are the following:
-Obfuscated (by NetLogo Obfuscator) Touhou TC Extra Stages Release Candidate 3, Phantasm Partition
-No music (all of it is copyrighted and it takes up too much space)
-A brief spell explanation'
-Hours of frustration and wondering why Utsuho's hitbox is so large
-A lot of lackluster and poor quality spells
-Some great ones
-Lag
-Stuff so that you can run the .html if you really don't want to have to download NetLogo.

Enjoy, comment, and feel free to give constructive criticism! (although I'm actually going to quit NetLogo Danmaku after my current project...)

Sorry for the double post, sorry for too many bullets. But I made some pretty nice stuff with it.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

Patterns are pretty fun but you can easily dodging them by hugging the bottom of the screen (bullets disappear before touch you).
Player shots are pretty well thought but they cover enemies bullets and it makes more harder to dodge them.
I think java is not the better choice to make a danmaku but I'm sure if you remake the script in Touhou Danmakufu, you'll get rid off a lot of bugs and It would be more playable  .

[Sparen]

The sides are invincible areas that I used when testing to speed up and check for bugs.

I guess I forgot to mention that. XD

As for the shots, I realized that error, and in my current project, the bullets have transparent space inside them. But the player's Utsuho, so... I really don't know if I could make the shots more transparent, since NetLogo doesn't support transparency layers. My remedy for this is to press 'hide-shots,' which will hide your shots.

The issue with HideShots is that since you are probably focusing on the character, it's not always certain if you are actually hitting the enemy.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

[touhoumaniac]

I tried your scripts. The lag was unbearable, so i gave up before finishing it  :V

[Sparen]

I know about the lag.

The issue is that the only way to stop the lag is to lower the amount of bullets, and that breaks some of the patterns.

Oh well. Might as well make that 'Easy Mode.' [Well, it's a Phantasm stage... but if it needs to be more playable, I'll cut the bullets]

Edit: Scrap that. I don't have a copy of the pre-obfuscated Phantasm only stage. I should've kept a copy. Either way, Extra isn't that great, so I don't want to risk it. And the main game... well, you'll have to wait for me to port it to Danmakufu. That'll take about a year or more, depending on how much free time I have and how quickly I learn Danmakufu. Still, an Utsuho player script would be pretty damn awesome if I can draw. [I.E, I can't draw pixel art]

Scripting damakufu is far from difficult.
Allow me to direct you to:
Helopolis' Damakufu Tutorial Playlist It's a very nice way to learn Damakufu. Even for people who've never even scripted before (like me!  :ohdear:)
(I may be spriting Utsuho soon  :derp: So if I can get someone to script it would be good.)

[Sparen]

I already know about the tutorials. I just have to learn about object bullets, tasks, and all of the image rendering.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

I think a lot of your existing patterns can be easily done with CreateShot01, CreateShotA and familiars. 

[Sparen]

The issue: CreateShotA and tasks.

My scripts are like this: I set up a timing system before each attack, and that timer controls the script. Basically, the 'mod' function does everything (count % ### in Danmakufu). Then I have special exits or things that are set up. All of the wallbouncing, QEDing, gravity effects, and more are built into each bullet's running script. Those are equivalent to tasks in Danmakufu. Then, of course, I have other issues besides these.

I use links. I have no clue how to translate that into Danmakufu. I also use turtles-own variables to control bullet headings. I have no clue how to do that on Danmakufu. I also have time lapses and bullet splitting, along with premature deaths. If I could get that into Danmakufu, my Suiroga player script's spellcards would be done by now. Then I base things off of patches, such as where to spawn familiars or bullets. I could try to do that in Danmakufu, but it wouldn't work.

Then comes my biggest enemy: random.

Yes, Danmakufu supports it. But my scripts were never meant to have replays made. And so, the CommanData stuff is enough to knock me out. I have no clue on how to make a stable replay on Danmakufu with my abuse of random.

And finally, Danmakufu uses a different coordinate system, a different angle system, a different drawing system, a different language, a different format for everything, and can't play sound on my computer (and won't) until the people over at Wine Bugzilla figure out why sound doesn't work on Danmakufu. It freezes Danmakufu, and screens don't update for some reason. So I'm stuck.

However, it's true that a lot of my patterns can be done in Danmakufu. Quadruple Visionary Tuning, for example. And Rings of Eternity, Demystify Feast, etc. The question is about the rest of them.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

Don't worry about randoms, Danmakufu saves the seed of every rand() you'll put, you don't need commons data and you can abuse of random  :3c

If you want to manipulate every parameters of yours shots (and making bouncing ones or whatever other bullets), you must use object bullets, in fact, object bullets are just a declaration of the different parameters of the bullet in a task. They aren't that hard, learn the tutorials, read the "manual" (aka Touhou Danmakufu wiki) and you can look other scripts to see how bullets are scripted. Every pattern (excluded very very very very complicated ones) can be scripted into Danmakufu. 
QEDing bullets and wallbouncing ones are made with object bullets. Gravity ones can be make with CreateShotA (cf. Danmakufu Basics Tutorial by Blargel on the wiki).

If you want to using a task to manage enemy's firing, create a task, then put a infinite loop (with loop() without any number declared or using while(1)). Don't forget to put a yield; in @MainLoop and at the end of your loop or else Danmakufu will freeze. Call the loop at the end of @Initialize.

I agree Danmakufu's coordinate system is a bit weird but it's easy to handle with practice.
Drawing system is pretty easy and there is a lot functions/effects easily usable (I think of the last spell of Reisen).
All of this is for Danmakufu 0.12m put it could be easily port to ph3, at least I think. 

[Sparen]

I haven't had much success with drawing on Danmakufu. My cut-in for my player spell has half of his head cut off (I think the dimensions are 500x500), and I can't make my enemy appear on the screen in the draw loop.

Still, I'm getting used to the stuff, so maybe, just maybe, I can port this.

[PhantomSong]

Lol that's rather large for a cut in XD Try like 300x360 or something XD

[Sparen]

When I did that, the left half of the image appeared in the spell, and that's weird.

[Lunasa Prismriver]

That's normal. You should re-dimensionate your picture to 300*360  .

[Sparen]

You mean 300 across and 360 up/down?

[PhantomSong]

You mean 300 across and 360 up/down?

Yes. It uses X*Y format.
You also may want to fill all your bounds out as well. (Left, Top, Right, Bottom) if I remember correctly.

[Sparen]

The cut in works now. Also, the CutIn(KOUMA, etc.), when used in a player spellcard, does not accept the coordinate values. I tried and Danmakufu returned an error stating that a closing parenthesis was needed, i.e. no more arguments were allowed.

I've drastically slowed down my development speed of my current Touhou NetLogo game. If anybody wants to try it out, they are welcome to, but I'd prefer not to release it just yet, since I'm a third of the way through Stage 3.

Well if you let me see the error and  your script I may be able to help you. (Prtscn then Tinypic then post your script on Pastebin the PM the link.)
Also, I would love to play a little mini demo  :3

[Sparen]

The faulty spellcard code I'm using in Danmakufu can be found here.

As for the demo, I'll probably post it soon.

SUIROGA A PLAYER SCRIPT COMPLETED

Suiroga A player script completed. Download link... will not appear. Mainly because I can't draw pixel art well and the sprite looks really shitty.

On a sidenote, the porting of Pok?DigiDanmaku will begin after the Veemon player script is done, and porting of Terranean Cataclysm will probably start once that project is done (and I can effectively have a decent stage). HOWEVER, if I can get my Utsuho Scripts done...

Touhou Terranean Cataclysm Phantasm Stage WILL BE PORTED to Danmakufu!

[Sparen]

POK?DIGIDANMAKU VEEMON PLAYER SCRIPT COMPLETED

Download link available here: http://www.bulletforge.org/u/sparen/p/pokdigidanmaku-veemon/v/18

I need testers to use this on real scripts and give me feedback. Is one type OP? Is one type UP? Can't see the hitbox? Any suggestions for effects? Bugs? If I'm going to make it better, I need feedback.

Currently known issues:
-Deathbomb does not work in your own player type [MAJOR] {Fixed: 2.0}
-Lasers don't tell you if they are hitting the foe due to lack of effects [ENHANCEMENT]
-Hitbox may become obscured or may be hard to see [ENHANCEMENT] {Repeat}
-Lasers may suddenly disappear; bug is fixed upon changing types [UNCONFIRMED]
-Left Lighdramon laser does not match up perfectly with the option. [ENHANCEMENT] {Ignore}
-Hitbox not visible enough (especially with Lighdramon) [MINOR] {Fixed: 2.0}
-During some survival spells, Magnamon's honing shots collect at boss location but do not disappear, and lag Danmakufu as a result. [MAJOR]
-Lighdramon's Unfocused shots are much more focused than its focused shots [MINOR] {Fixed: 2.0}
-You can change types while bombing [MINOR] {Fixed: 2.0}
-[V2.1]After Dying, you do not revert to Veemon

Feedback:
-Lighdramon's lasers aren't transparent enough and interfere with scripts with blue lasers [ENHANCEMENT] {Fixed: 1.9}

...And it is now inevitable that I will port Pok?DigiDanmaku to 0.12m. It'll probably take a year though, considering that I need to remake it from scratch.

Just some comedy that I pieced together for the sake of it.

[Sparen]

Okay~

If Suiroga's scripts are ever going to be released (that includes his Extra Stage), I'm going to need a spriter. His back portraits suck because I'm doing it pixel by pixel with a program I'm unfamiliar with, and I'm not even thinking about the horrors of a front battle sprite.

This is open to all potential spriters.

Please specify how and when it freezes.

If it crashes, it's an Locale error.

If it (Danmakufu) freezes after selecting the script without an error message, then I will need more info.

If it freezes before selecting the script, something is wrong with Danmakufu.
