Category:LIBTHDS

What is this?

The touhou ds library is an ever growing collection smaller libraries originally written to handle various backend tasks in a game called thds with an emphasis on ease of use, simplicity, memory and cpu efficiency, effective documentation, and friendly support. ^^ The libraries in this collection are mostly useful for creating games in the bullet hell genre.

In addition to the ones already here, these are to be added soon:

• Background management and manipulation *comming soon*
• Game text.. functions for displaying in game texts, might support variable width/scaleable fonts
• Non-danmaku sprite lib (not multiplexed, each screen separate)

If you can think of or need anything else just ask.

Where do i get it?

Latest versions can be obtained via SVN. Human readable form is here, or you may svn export (or checkout but see notes below) from svn://svn.blea.ch/thdslib/trunk/thdslib/ .

svn export svn://svn.blea.ch/thdslib/trunk/thdslib/

A tar.bz2 of Version 5 is here as well.

Examples are found in thdslib/examples. In order for them to compile the THDS enviroment variable should be set to the path containing thdslib. Something like:

export THDS="/home/isabella/thdslib"

If 'svn checkout' was used to obtain sources: when compiling the examples you may want to remove the .svn directory from the MyNitroFs/ directory prior to compilation due to SVN putting a directory named ".svn" in every directory that would otherwise be included in the resulting .nds binaries. Ex:

mv MyNitroFs/.svn stupidsvnfolder

Just thought i should mention that its very much a work in progress, the code is a bit ugly and there are probably a few bugs to be sorted (just see the talk page ~_~)
