I finally decided it's time to step up to the challenge known as scripting Danmakufu
I approve of this. Everyone should learn to script!
Haven't started using it just yet, but I'd like to see if I can get any tips on using it before I get started (i.e. is there a way to get official Touhou sprites, etc.)
Alright, for starters, head on over
here for the Danmakufu FAQ and links to a number of Danmakufu tutorials. You should also know that there are currently 2 versions of Danmakufu in existance, each with different scripting styles and capabilities. You can find out more on the FAQ, but the newest version, Ph3, is still in beta and doesn't have any complete tutorials (in English at least) at the moment. You'll also find a link to the Danmakufu wiki for both versions on the information thread. You can use that to look up what different functions do and how to implement them. Before doing anything though, you should ABSOLUTELY read and understand the beginner's tutorial. And if you have further questions that the tutorials don't answer adequately, just post away in the Q&A thread for the appropriate version.
For official touhou sprites and stuff, look no further than
here. You'll find everthing you'll need and more.
