Elcarim

This is an arcade bullet-hell game based on the gameplay of Touhou 01: The Highly Responsive to Prayers (Zun Soft, 1996), and is being developed from scratch in C++ for Windows, Mac and Linux.

The tech

The graphics runs on OpenGL with custom shaders in GLSL, through a cross-platform windowing system called GLFW. Keyboard input and gamepad (XBOX/PS4 controller) input is also taken care of by GLFW. The code utilizes GLM as its primary math library, and uses STB Image for loading PNG-files. When audio is implemented later it will either be through OpenAL or OpenAL Soft.

Old version

This project is a re-creation of a project I did in Java back in 2016-2018 called Project 1996. That version is still playable and can be found here: https://mcflyboy.itch.io/project1996 (Windows only)
