Danmaculator is a design tool to create any bullet pattern you want for your game or other project, all without needing to code anything. 
NOTE: This is an open beta, there will be bugs and issues

The main features

  • Simple building blocks, infinite patterns
  • Changes are reflected immediately in the preview
  • Simple presets for common patterns
  • Lower-level operations for crazy patterns
  • Save, load, and export your creations to your favorite engine (disabled for the current version)


Usage

To start creating patterns, right click inside the Pattern Graph to create a node. On the left side of a node are the inputs, and on the right are the outputs. You may connect nodes together by dragging a line from one to another.

Importantly, make sure to have a spawner!

For more information: you can access a "getting started" guide by clicking on Help > Documentation in the toolbar


What's the roadmap?

There's no set-in-stone roadmap, but generally my plans are:

  • Iron out major bugs and problems
  • Add lots more nodes and presets
  • Add a customizeable tagging/value system (so you can do things like mark a bullet as "player-follow" for use in your engine)
  • Add proper internal documentation and guides
  • Add Japanese localization
  • Add pattern examples
  • Create a basic pattern importer for inside Unity and Godot

If you would like to report a bug, make a suggestion, or just share your creations; you may join the community Discord.

I am also running a survey for new users! I would appreciate filling this in greatly.
