well just check out scratch (free to use) and see how limited the coding is.

yeah, scratch is pretty good for beginners and just messing around, but kinda limited in the actual coding thing. but, even with that, touhou is fairly easy to do on scratch, after you get the game mechanics done. i've seen better.
to the dev: try danmakufu, it's a lot better than scratch if you wanna make touhou style games.
that took hard work and effort to do like this one.
To the dev: I'm using scratch as well, and if you check my profile, I have a touhou fangame made with scratch that I made as well, and BOY is the game crap. But it took months to do and it was fun to make so...I guess just keep making touhou fangames if it makes you happy.
