Libre reimplementation of the Touhou 6 engine in Python

• XMPP room, to speak with us (with logs, and a webclient);
• Repository, where you can get the sources, using Mercurial;
• Bug tracker;
• Documentation (and its repository);

Download

• ArchLinux
• Windows
• Pandora
• You are more than welcome to make a package for your OS of choice, if you do so please contact us. ☺

Build from source (if you don’t use our packages)

You will need:

• Python (≥ 2.6), the interpreter, as well as the headers and shared objects needed to compile with Cython;
• Mercurial, as we currently don’t provide stable releases, you’ll need it to download and upgrade the sources;
• Cython (at least 0.19), for the SDL 2.0 and OpenGL bindings, and for performance reasons;
• SDL 2.0, for window creation and input handling, SDL2_image for PNG loading, SDL2_mixer for music playback and SDL2_ttf for text rendering;
• and finally a working OpenGL 2.1 or 1.4 implementation, like Mesa for example.

Then retrieve the sources with hg clone http://hg.sitedethib.com/touhou, compile it with python2 setup.py build and install it with python2 setup.py install. If you prefer to run it from the sources directory, use python2 setup.py build_ext --inplace instead, and then run it with ./eosd.

How to get a game?

For now you will need either the demo or the commercial version of Touhou 6 ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

The demo is available by searching “ver0.13” in the official download page, then unarchive it with something like libarchive’s bsdtar, and convert the filenames from CP932 using something like convmv. Sorry about that, but those files aren’t redistributables in a friendlier format. ☹

How to play?

% eosd --help should tell you everything you need about the options. If something is not clear tell us.

For the gameplay, everything you need can be found on touhouwiki.net.
