It's missing the parentheses needed for the if statements.

GML is odd in that parentheses and semicolons are completely optional.

Does GML still lack first-class arrays?

Nope.

I am completely OCD with performance so I thought, since GML gets turned in to C++ with the YYC compiler (and therefor is actually quite fast) I could attempt to ditch the game maker object system for shots in favor of a higher performance shot system written in just GML. Performance tests are promising to say the least.

Ignore the terrible code, it's a proof of concept I wrote it in about 20 minutes. I have the number of new objects written in the top left;

They have some super simple circle collision checking running too. I have no idea how I'll scale it for practical use.  :ohdear:

Edit: I'm going to use some of the ideas a base for making curvy lasers as they are quite demanding.

Opps, double post. Tried to edit original post but hit quote instead of modify.

I don't know anything about GML or your engine, but I just want to say...I like your Halloween script very much. Even though it wasn't made from danmakufu engine, the perfomance and sheer amount of effects impress me a lot (as well as danmaku pattern). Very well done tyrz_939!

Thank you! I was worried the Halloween entry I did was a bit rushed but it did better than I thought it would, I'm glad you and others like it. 
I actually have one of your videos open for reference at the moment, the worlds a small place!  :wat:

I'm making proper lasers now and it's a bit complex but I'm getting it done 1 bit at a time. They'll hopefully be able to curve, be thin at the ends, thicker in the middle and variable lengths.

They just draw straight and have collision at the moment though. Work work.

It's all nice that my game is all prettyful etc but sometimes, when a new bug pops up, I want to kill it to death. Why for are my stage events spamming.  :ohdear: :ohdear: :ohdear:

On a brighter note,  curvy lasers are finished and I got a Surface Pro 4 today, I'll have a go at drawing up portraits on it. If anyone wants to help with art and sound effects for my project I would be very grateful.

I've completely updated my OP.

I'm currently looking for help with sprites/portraits as it's the main thing slowing me down at the moment. If anyone would like to help, please contact me.

I re-wrote Marisa and Reimu's shots types and I'll be including modern and classic options for them. Modern playing like recent Touhou games (but PC-98 themed) and classic playing more PC-98-like. Mima and Yuuka will play PC-98 like only.

I've put in many more particle effects including proper shot deaths and player shot impact effects.

Warning: Sprites are mostly placeholders at the moment.
