There is a project called BulletML(you can see it's old as it's based on xml rather than json 🙃) that is basically DSL for writing patterns.

Back in November last year, we were tasked to create our own game for class. I have entered the rabbit hole of bullet systems. BulletML is neat. There's also BulletUpHell for Godot. Or Bullet Maku if you're into theory. With that said, I'm not really that deep but it did open up a lot of maths that I never considered before.

this is actually really interesting...

While this particular spell card is by no means among the hardest ones in the series so far, it's such a beautiful one that it still takes my breath away ever since I first got to encounter it many years ago playing PCB. Plus Border of Life playing along with this spell card sounds so mesmerizing! Recently heard a musician describe his composition process as "close to the science of programming" that seeing you tackle the piece in code made me understand visually what they meant by such an expression. You tackling this work from your field of expertise made me appreciate such a beautiful work of art and design on a deeper level beyond its spectacle too. Thank you so much for this video!

@@ssjcrafter8842 If you spend time and dedication on something, regardless of the medium, I think it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that you are an artist. Some of the game covers and backgrounds ZUN draws are undeniably incredible too. They have that strange, wistfully mystical feel to them. It's like looking at a painting that was composed from within a dream. A fantasy iteration of Liminal spaces or something. I wonder if ZUN is sober when he draws.

This is super cool, and you’re super underrated! There are much MUCH more difficult spell cards than this though

Ohhh you picked a good one for this project, one of the most beautiful patterns in touhou, and the music in the background just gives you chills as you rush to finish the fight, i absolutely love it, and your recreation was really, really damn good!!

Well made video Allen. I often found myself wondered about the math involved in the making of some of the spellcards during my playthrough of the 6th game. One pattern that stuck out to me the most for its hypnotic effect was Hong Meiling's spell card "flower sign: Selaginella 9"

You're super underrated! Your mic quality is really good and your script is well written too, I hope you get the recognition you deserve some day!

Really nice presentation and love for detail! Looking forward to more content like this~

Yuyuko?..

You did a great job recreating this!

Reminds me of a time when I was playing around with OpenGL in C/C++, I was recreating (what I think is the most difficult spell card) Pristine Danmaku Hell. It's simple to create, but difficult to survive through! (I should start doing that again someday with Unity instead...)

Very interesting video! Personally, I'd be interested in more of these Touhou dives, but I'm sure you can also make other content with the level of understanding and passion you have!

very well made video! I know you're a very new channel, but the quality of your first 2 videos alone look very promising and deserve the boost! I'd love to see more coding / gamedev content from you :D

This is the type of content I require in my life, my goodness this is awesome!

Always lovely to see other people try to recreate the patterns on their own. RB as a pattern is quite iconic so it's nice to see it being disassembled like you've shown. Good job on the recreation, It's really close to the original! I am really curious how would you tackle two more patterns from the series, I personally find them more difficult to understand how they work: - Eirin's "Apollo 13" (or any nonspell of Eirin that features a similar pattern) - Kanako's "Divine Virtue of Wind God" Funny enough, I happen to use frame by frame analysis most often to discren what happens. Hopefully I'll see you perform more challenges like that!

I remember both doing this myself and seeing others doing it in a program called Fraxy (basically Mugen, but for shmup's). It tended to lead to quite some interesting patterns. and fortunately, it was quite easy once you figured out how the program worked. And the lengths some were able to take the program was just insane.

Actually wild that this is so under rated, gained a sub from me :D

That was great! I've tried to recreate a spell card too, in construct2, a long time ago. It was just for fun, but it didn't went that well as it did in your project 😅

Excellent video my dude 👌

pretty neat recreation, but there are most definitely plenty of harder spellcards not only are there a good few in the mainline games, there's a certain style of official spinoff game where you challenge individual spellcards one at a time instead of doing the full game in one run, and these games are an absolute treasure trove of difficult spellcards

Great video. That was beautiful.

Its great how you appreciate beauty of the patterns. Probably you'll be able to code your game too eventually.

Reminds me of the ol' Danmakufu days. It's easier to imagine the lasers as really long bullets that just change width when they activate. At least prior to MoF. Curvy lasers from modern era, on the other hand, are probably closer to what is seen here and use sin/cos functions to display their path from the spawner.

While it's far from the hardest spell card, I'm happy to see RB. PCB was the first touhou game i completed, and Yuyuko's big finale is one of my fave moments in the series. Would it be possible to get a looping GIF of the pattern?

All this man expressions are on point 😂

the video ended so abruptly. i was expecting a more in depth look into everything concerning the math, code and design as well as the research put into figuring stuff out D:

amazing

Very interesting style of editing. I like it. I gotta say: It would have been nice if you broke down the sub-pattern, displaying the individual simple patterns combining in order to create the new complex-looking one. Really would have given it a stronger impact on the "Aha Moment". As it is, I have no idea what patterns combined to create this. Speaking of simple rules leading to beautiful results, you gotta check out "The Hidden Mechanic of 「Border of Wave and Particle」" by Virtlux if you haven't. It's about this spiral bullet pattern that looks super complicated and almost random, but at the end of it all, it's really just simple patterns combining together to create a beautiful one. I see you've sneaked in an extra pattern there in the background and, I could be wrong, but that looks like BoWaP or at least some variant of it.

I'd love to see Boundary of Life and Death to be recreated this way. You don't even need lasers here

Could we get to see the code for those patterns? Would be really cool to create all sorts of other patterns with that

Very cool! I'm gonna guess adding "most difficult" was you playing 5D chess to get Touhou players to show up...smart. I've been working on a project that incorporates a lot of Touhou-style attacks as well, and I know just how hard it is to nail these things. Even something as seemingly simple as Mercury Poison has a lot of intricacy and differentiation, if you want to get the timing and movement close to how it is in th06.

Ahem. "Trembling, Shivering Star" Scarlet Sign "Scarlet Meister" "Fantasy Heaven" New Impossible Request "Seamless Ceiling of Kinkaku-ji" "Fitful Nightmare" ...To name a few.

Amazing

Oh... I though we would be discussing sinus and cosinus but... the video ended before it could take that tangente

this is the cool thing about "patterns" is that they are really just incremental procedures with usually only one variable this is exactly how a lot of dangerous enemies behaved in arcade games as well, do a standard movement procedure and maybe shoot. I find this kind of emergent complexity from simple rules to be way more satisfying than your average "throw billion mechanics in but keep the gameplay loop primitive" AAA games
