… (24 + (difficulty * 8) + rank) in TH04, and (42 + (difficulty * 8))
in TH05. Also, TH05 only doesn't have TH04's bullet zap animation
because ZUN didn't consistently use constants…

And actually document them correctly.
Clear: Custom duration, awards constant points per bullet during the
entire duration, plays a decay animation
Zap: Fixed duration, awards a semi-exponential bonus for all bullets
alive on the first frame, plays a, um, "zapping" animation… in
TH04, because it's bugged in TH05 :zunpet:

This gets rid of a couple of per-entity sprite bitplane types, makes
sprite declarations easier to read by putting width and height next to
each other… and points out a number of array dimension mistakes -.-
Even in places where we can't use it.

*Technically* also a uth05win inaccuracy. That codebase went with
"KnifeBullet", which seemed right, so I just ran with it without
researching it further… My bad.

The TH04 one might have the same function structure, but the only thing
that's actually identical in both games is the picture darkening loop.

After ternary expressions straight out of Jigoku in 57be510, we now got
pointer arithmetic straight out of Jigoku… with, unsurprisingly, two
ZUN bugs.

Final unknown entity in TH05 that can collide with the player!
Get position independence hype!
(Also, no structure member comments necessary, thanks to the new
types!)

Wow, so the boss_stuff_t structure did exist in the original code after
all. This is the only function in all of TH04 and TH05 that confirms
it – in dea40ad, it just seemed like something I made up, out of
convenience.

Right, because you'd also want to automatically shift the IDs for every
stage-specific sprite if you add or remove a new stage-independent one.

A future sprite converter (documented in #8) could then convert these
to C or ASM arrays.
(Except for the piano sprites for TH05's Music Room, which are stored
and used in such a compressed way that it defeats the purpose of
storing them as bitmaps.
Last one of the shared entity types! The TH05 version of the .STD enemy
VM would now be ready for decompilation in one single future push.

Which need to be separate from Mai's and Yuki's 32×32 balls because…
they have a delay cloud, whose radius absolutely has to be stored
redundantly, rather then deriving it from the [age]? Same for the decay
frame count. And the _update() function was copy-pasted from the knife
one…

Since they're determined by the order of sprites in a .BFT file,
they're best auto-generated by an enum as much as possible.
