I recreated Resurrection Butterfly - 80% Reflowering - (Lunatic) from Perfect Cherry Blossom, one of the most difficult spell cards at the time.

    Really cool but not even close to the hardest pattern in the series.
  • @mitsuhaha5574
    One of Touhou's most iconic spell cards* Aside from the title nitpick, job well done.
  • @ZaHandle
    Bro’s never seen Yumemi throwing the whole Vatican City at you
  • @cryptic2121
    Bro summoning every person with a touhou pfp
  • @pinkcultgirl
    so many small details youd miss even on your millionth replay appear when slowed down and analyzed, what a unique way to look at bullet patterns!!
  • @AM-yk5yd
    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.
  • @HyperVanilo
    Bro is now ready to make his own bullet hell game, you can use a program called Danmakufu
  • @fabioalanmp
    It is not the hardest by any means, but it is one of the most iconic. Nicely well made
  • @SpringySpring04
    Im glad you looked at one of Yuyuko's spell cards. Yuyuko is my favorite character in the series!!
  • @Fishnberg
    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!

    This is super cool, and you’re super underrated! There are much MUCH more difficult spell cards than this though
  • @skyethemin4922
    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!!

    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...)
  • Popcorn hell Touhou 11 stage 5 boss Konako touhou 10 final boss last spell card XD

    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.

    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"
