PyTouhou

Download

ArchLinux

Note that the Debian/Ubuntu package won’t work before Debian Jessie (8.0) or Ubuntu Trusty (14.04), due to missing dependencies.
Furthermore, you are more than welcome to make a package for your OS of choice, if you do so please contact us. ☺

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

You will need:

Python 3.4+, the interpreter, as well as the headers and shared objects needed to compile with Cython.
Mercurial, to download the sources and keep them up-to-date, as we currently don't provide stable releases.
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.
libepoxy, to detect OpenGL profiles and features available at runtime, making a single build run on every GPU and driver.
And finally a working OpenGL 2.1+ or 1.4 implementation, like Mesa for example.
Optionally, you can install GTK+ (3.10+) to get a graphical menu.

Then retrieve the sources with hg clone https://hg.linkmauve.fr/touhou, compile it with python3 setup.py build and install it with python3 setup.py install. If you prefer to run it from the sources directory, use python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace instead, and then run it with PYTHONPATH=. scripts/pytouhou.

How to get the game

For now you will need either the demo or the commercial version of Touhou 6 ~ Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
The demo is available on the official download page or directly by clicking on this link, 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 redistributable in a friendlier format.

How to play

pytouhou --help should tell you everything you need about the options. If something is not clear, please tell us. For the gameplay, everything you need can be found on touhouwiki.net.
