>and I just can't figure out how to do them decently.
I implemented curved lasers myself in C once as a simple test. Basically, the way it worked was by implementing a linked list of bullet structs in which the first node (the front tip of the laser) "controlled" or "lead" the rest of the laser. Each frame, it would iterate through the array backwards and set each node's position to that of the previous node in the list and so on, until it reached the first node, whose movement would be calculated as normal based off of velocity, etc. If I wanted the laser to grow, I would add a new node to the back end, or remove the last node to shrink it. It was fairly rough and inefficient since I didn't plan on using it for anything, but it more or less worked perfectly.

>>165709615
>accuses people of being low IQ
>cant figure out how to make lasers
kek

>>165710867
I also already have a homing laser, but I just can't figure out how to fade them out, or go comepltely into the target, you know.

They just always disappear instantly, as soon as the parent gets destroyed. Which basically looks like shit.

Another problem I also have is that I don't know how to put a collider on the whole laser. It only has a collider at the front, but if you'd collide at its middle point, it wouldn't harm you.

>>165711447
>but I just can't figure out how to fade them out, or go comepltely into the target
Depending on how you want to implement it, you could have it to where when the front node reaches its target, it is removed from the list and control is then transferred to the next node, or make it to where each node has an "active" flag that determines if it is drawn and has an active hitbox.
>I also have is that I don't know how to put a collider on the whole laser.
For mine, each node already contained a bullet struct which, in turn, held a rectangular hitbox. From there, doing collision checks was as simple as testing each node's hitbox against the player's.

>>165712619
>it is removed from the list and control is then transferred to the next node
yes yes, there are many ways to do this, but problem is I don't know how to code this

>each node already contained a bullet struct
I also already tried this, but this doesn't work for me. I tried making a string of bullets out of several children, but it didn't help shit.

>>165713689
>I also already tried this, but this doesn't work for me. I tried making a string of bullets out of several children, but it didn't help shit.
The main idea of my implementation is that the first node is the only bullet in the list that "acts" like a bullet; the rest are blind followers that do not move and act based off their own velocity, but instead set their position to that of the next node's. This creates the illusion of having the laser move, when in reality each node is just shifting forward.
>yes yes, there are many ways to do this, but problem is I don't know how to code this
As long as you're only updating the first node and then shifting the positions of the rest, removing the first node from a linked list would work fine because the second node would then become the first.
I wish I hadn't gotten rid of the source code for mine, I'd share it with you if I still had it.

Possibly, but it's only been a month since Gold Label came out. I hope they haven't shit out another mobage from scratch in just that time. I think it more likely that they developed Gold Label and this at the same time, and are just spacing out the releases a little.

Ultimately this must stem from the significant success that Mahou Otome has had, and I guess they're trying to replicate it now but not doing a very good job so far.

the GoG version "works" offline, but there's no way to cancel an attempt to submit a score online. Which the game does automatically after you play. So you're basically going to force quit between every attempt if you play offline.

Considering that I got this far means that I'm actually almost there. I only need to not die until the final boss, then I'll be able to 1cc it.
I'll practice the TLB2 before doing any further attempts, tho.

jesus fucking christ the big ship at the start of stage 5 in ketsui is the literal fucking textbook definition of bullshit since it shoots so much bullets you cant see anything that blue even outside the screen which means you will get hit no matter what you do

i mean there just isnt any single possible way to kill it without bombing since it shoots so much undodgeable shit which cannot be misdirected nor bombed because its bullets are immune to bombs and therefore your run is destined to fail at that point no matter how good you are

>>165769993

Batrider, Darius Gaiden, and Touhou 12 have the best homo lasers.

Is there actually ANY Cave game with a homing laser? I really can't think of any...

>>165735532
Touhou in general
Dodonpachi
CCWI, oddly

That's pretty much it. If I want to just enjoy some quality action, these ones never fail to pump me up.

I don't know / am too lazy or incapable of learning how to interact with other shmups like Garegga or most horizontal shmups or whatever is out there, so I can't imagine playing those sorts of games as enjoyable right now. Maybe they are.

>>165778462
Ketsui lock shot sort of?

does mashing in donpachi increases your shots

>>165778856
It's a lock on shot, but not a homing laser. Homing lasers are avtually quite tricky to make, and Cave is apparently to dumb for them LOL

>What would be your top 3 best shmup?

It's basically just a fancy bulletML demo with crude drawings

>>165778925
It's the same thing in practice, it locks on and does homing. In CCWI you lock on and it homes in on targets.

>>165778462
>Is there actually ANY Cave game with a homing laser?
dangun feveron type 1.

>>165779264
N, it's totally not the same. A shot is just a stream of single bullets, while a laser is a long flexible thing which can bend itself. that's much more tricky to programm.

>>165779291
Kraut BTFO

>>165779470
>A shot is just a stream of single bullets, while a laser is a long flexible thing which can bend itself.
That's just a matter of graphics. The programming behind it is the same. It picks a target and follows it until it hits it.

>>165779291
You mean Type A? That's not a homing laser. I's just a stream of bullets which locks on to targets.

>>165779702
functions the same.

>>165779660
>That's just a matter of graphics. The programming behind it is the same. It picks a target and follows it until it hits it.
LMAO, you have no idea what you are talking about. A bullet is just a simple object with applied velocity. A homing laser however is an object which bends itself at runtime.

To make really good homing lasers are basically would have to create procedurally created meshes, which is a whole different story than just creating an object with velocity.

>>165779702

It's purple and fucking lol at you literally being a clover tac clone, bet you even have the same stick? he is married though so no chance you can copy that.

Naw, only the shitty ones. To make really seamless curvy lasers you can't just connect single bullets with another.

>>165781737
>Raiden III is a Raiden game.
Thats right it is but you said "raiden" singular meaning the first game, you said nothing about series so no you can't try that bullshit in my language.


>Yea, the green laser from Raiden is pretty damn impressive

Just in case you try wriggling again you shitehawk.

>>165782061
Raiden to me can mean Raiden I or all Raiden games combined.
But anyway, you are just talking semantics.

>>165781737
do you mean piercing laser?

>>165782280
No i'm talking facts of the english language, you stated raiden singular and only one game exists with that name and none of them are the sequels. I know you're a mentally ill arrogant german meat sack but this time you're wrong, fuck off with your side stepping.

>>165782397
No, I mean seamless, curvy lasers. They often use Bézier Curves for them.

purple laser isn't even in the first raiden anyways

Why is everyone streaming premium mode...

And they say shmups are simple to program... until you run into the curving lasers question. I haven't tried writing shmups myself, but I know a friend who tried as a hobby and apparently he just gave up pretty quickly when it came to Bézier curves. Best of luck, KBR, and consider making the source code open.

The community hates original games and prefer flashy same old bullshit to look good to their internet friends. Guwange also requires multi tasking and basically routing 2 things at the same time which these plebs can't handle either.

>>165811572
>Stage-long chaining... was a mistake
Getting a basic stage long chain isn't even hard if you use your brain and actually build a route, Aquass pb run is a great example of a simple full game chain, it's only when you get to 40 mill and beyond that you have to start building refined routes and knowing when to use shot milking vs shiki cancels etc and going for high risk strats ie cat milk, the hidden barrels in stage 4, stage 2 boss legs milk etcetc.

>Cave confirmed for not being able to program real curvy homing lasers
It's just maths you stupid cunt, judging by some of the bullet patterns in their games homing lasers wouldn't be a problem

>>165860926
most of their patterns are either static or follow the player which are easy as piss to code compared to the mathematical complexity that is curvy homing lasers

hey shmupg Which do you prefer - Turn Based Strategy games, SHMUPS, or both?

What's complex about curvy lasers? It's just a bullet that curves towards a target and draws a line behind it.

HELP ME UP GUYS.

I remember playing a shmup demo back in 2003 and I can't remember its name.
Intro was something like: there's some experiments conducted in a lab on some dude, his head is cut off and put in a small yellow spaceship. The first level was a futuristic city, and the game over screen was the spaceship looking at the sunset.

I swear to god I've been loking for this piece of shit for ages
