Danmakufu Contest 1 - Halloween!

Welcome to Rika's Garage's (grammatically questionable) first contest! Anyways, we all know that Halloween is just around the corner. There's nothing scarier than a wall of bullets heading right for you, so for this contest, you have to make a short Halloween themed boss fight!

Rules:

-The maximum number of attacks is 2 nonspells and 2 spells, with a matching plural script.
-Have at least a normal difficulty version of the script, but you may have a hard/lunatic version included as well.
-Feel free to use any resources necessary as long as credit is given, just don't blatantly steal ideas from other entries.
-The boss character can be original, from Touhou, or from another game.
-All entries must be linked to in this thread by midnight October 31st.
-Don't discuss other people's entries in this thread until judging is complete.

Judging:

The judges will be me, Drake, Naut and Stuffman. 3 out of these judges will be picked for each entry (this allows the judges to enter too)
Entries will be judged in the following categories:

Design
Is the difficulty genuine, or from random cheap shots? How fun is it to play? How original is your danmaku? Is it glitch free?

Theme
How well does it fit the contest theme?

Style
How well does the BGM match? How nice is it graphically? What extra touches are included?

You can score up to 10 points in all of these categories, and your overall score will the total points earned.

Don't be intimidated if you're new to danmakufu, everyone here has started off as an unknown user. I'm hoping to see some interesting entries! Good luck!

The contest is now over! Click to see the results!

You should all know by now how to score points with me. Looking forward to playing your stuff.

Should I lurk more?

Naut · « **Reply #4 on:** October 24, 2009, 01:22:00 AM »

No need, if you script up something that is fun to play then that is where the big points come from (it will increase everything else by default because of my biased feeling of "holy shit this is fun"). Don't worry about it.

God help you if it's easy though.

Looks exciting.Can't wait to see entries 8D

Janitor Morgan · « **Reply #6 on:** October 24, 2009, 01:51:25 AM »

This could be a great opportunity for me to improve my fledgling skills, although given the fine print in Naut's post, I'm not too confident about placing very high.

Chronojet ⚙ Dragon · « **Reply #7 on:** October 24, 2009, 02:06:59 AM »

NNGH... originality gives points?
Better start thinking then.

...No luck.

edit: ok... i finished... andddd.... testing. ...argh, cheap shot at teh beginning. ... ... OMFG SO EASY. ... ... hmmm, this may be harder than i thought...

Suikama · « **Reply #8 on:** October 24, 2009, 04:26:03 AM »

So judges aren't participating?

Stuffman · « **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2009, 04:32:28 AM »

I've agreed to be a stand-in judge.

So, if Onthenet posts an entry, it will be judged by Naut, Drake, and me.

Suikama · « **Reply #10 on:** October 24, 2009, 05:29:27 AM »

Should we just post our submissions in this thread or should we PM it to the judges?

Thaws · « **Reply #11 on:** October 24, 2009, 06:08:01 AM »

What time zone is the deadline supposed to be in?
Can there be dialogues?

I hope I'll be able to get something done before the deadline...
I want to finish my Purple UFO stage script first though. :-

It'd suck if my idea overlap with someone elses... Hope it doesn't. XD

Helepolis · « **Reply #12 on:** October 24, 2009, 06:56:46 AM »

I possibly got an idea for a boss. I might be doing this as a distraction from my original work.

puremrz · « **Reply #13 on:** October 24, 2009, 09:30:08 AM »

I would like to join, but I hope the deadline isn't too short, because I'm on a pretty tight schedule myself too.

Oh.
Hmmm... I'll try... *sketch sketch*

I think it's better to PM the files to the judges. If the entries aren't posted simultaneously, it's kinda unfair to the peope who finish theirs first, because slower people can compare then.

Iryan · « **Reply #14 on:** October 24, 2009, 11:11:16 AM »

Dang, have to check wether or not danmakufu even works on the new pc...

If so, I think I'm in, otherwise obviously not. :V

So apparently there is no way to make Windows 2000 use japanese as the basis for non-unicode programs.
Haet.

HAET!

Infy♫ · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2009, 12:17:00 PM »

so. can i transform my stage 1 & 2 bosses into a horrifying new boss battle?

Stuffman · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2009, 06:53:10 PM »

I suppose this could do with a sticky.

HOLY CRAP GUYS IT'S A BIG DEAL, YOUR MODERATOR IS STICKYING THE THREAD! LOOKS LIKE YOU BETTER MAKE SOME SCRIPTS FOR THIS!

Pretty much this.

CK Crash · « **Reply #18 on:** October 24, 2009, 09:40:23 PM »

If anyone is worried about posting their entries in this thread, then PM it to all 4 judges instead. As long as all 4 of us have access to your entry, it should be fine.

Note: This may be a good time to take advantage of the DMF wiki for script hosting.

Naut · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2009, 12:16:21 AM »

Yeah hi nobody reads stickies so

Chronojet ⚙ Dragon · « **Reply #20 on:** October 25, 2009, 04:06:29 AM »

MMFH.
I accidentally made a not-really-exact copy of Byakuren's non-spell. that first one.
All that time for nothing! I don't want copies of ZUN patterns!!
Does the "tidiness"...ish of the scripting count?

I'll be marking on tidiness, just saying. Not necessarily tabulation, just overall neatness, if I can understand how it works, etc.

Dunno about your question though, Thaws.

Ah....
I'mma going back to mah scripts again. OH MAH FAKKIN GAWD SO MESSY

Edit: OMFG POKEMON (edit: MUSIC)
Edit: mmmmm... it's not like people play the scripts by looking at the code, right? Well, I'm tidying the stuff up, still...

Iryan · « **Reply #24 on:** October 25, 2009, 01:27:03 PM »

OK. So I said that I won't enter if I don't get danmakufu to work, right?

I lied.

Ok, so I cannot test my script. At All. I cannot see if the pattern looks like I intended, if it is too easy or too difficult. Hell, I cannot even test whether or not the script actually works! I simply have to hope that I didn't make any typos, which is very unlikely. To make an error less likely, I did a rather simple script, only a single boss attack, without using any data save for the pictures that are in the standard rumia folder, no sounds, no music. Still, "The most important thing is not to win but to take part!".

If you encounter an error, it would be nice to tell me where it is so I can fix it, though I understand if you won't. This is a contest, after all.

Last place, I'm coming!

If you want it so badly, download my script, try to run it and tell me if it works. As I said, I cannot test it, and I doubt you can outsuck an error message. :V

Cabble · « **Reply #28 on:** October 25, 2009, 04:39:17 PM »

I'm not joining, I'm on a busy schedule with my danmakufu project.

I can't wait to see the entries!

Stuffman · « **Reply #29 on:** October 25, 2009, 05:39:23 PM »

Haha that would be a fun idea for another competition, blind spellcard creation where you're not allowed to playtest it. It would have to be on the honor system though so it probably won't work.
