| Yet Another Danmakufu Clone in the Making... |

So in the dead of night, my brother and I decided to test the limits of Danmakufu. We discovered that... it sucks. 1.) Re-assigning elements in multi-dimensional arrays is a pain. 2.) It's slow as hell. 3.) No hashes!? 4.) Random unexplainable glitches and crashes. 5.) And the list goes on... And then my brother (who happens to be a professional programmer with game programming experience) and I got the bright idea of trying to build our own Danmakufu-ish, create-your-own-shmup engine. No name yet, but we have decided this: 1.) Main program will be built in C++ 2.) The scripting language will be Javascript (ECMA-262, edition 3) 3.) We are going to use Orx as the hardware accelerated 2-D graphics engine using OpenGL. 4.) Javascript binding with the help of Flusspferd 5.) 100% open source on github 6.) Cross platform. It'll work on Windows, OS X, and Linux Yes I realize there is a 10 page long topic by Nuclear Cheese, but we already decided this before we saw that. :P It doesn't matter too much anyway since Nuclear Cheese seems to be seeking to imitate and improve upon Danmakufu while we will be making something more catered to experienced scripters who want more freedom and flexibility. As a side note, I got interested in this because of my failed Ikareimu library construction... seriously... Danmakufu really needs a more powerful scripting language at least. |

I would like at least one of you to make a phantasmagoria engine (:V) |
| Helepolis:
Who is we: Sounds like more persons are involved in this. |
| Stuffman:
Haha, so now we have two being made? Well, let's see who produces the better program :D Although, Nukecheese likely has a significant headstart! Javascript sounds like an interesting alternative for coding, I think I'll prefer the C-style scripting in Musuu though. |

As in Phantasmagoria of Flower View? You wanna make your own characters for it or something? Well too bad! >:( We = My brother and I. And any other programmer who's interested to take the source and do their own thing with it. And really, the two programs are probably going to be too different to compare, judging from how my brother is organizing everything. |
