    My 3-year-old son loves Frozen Bubble, although he's not particularly good at it yet.

    One word: SDL


    SDL, Simple Direct Media Layer isn't that at least three words? Err four ... ;)

    SDL rocks, and Frozen Bubble is too much fun
  3. Re:A PDA should mean less work not more by Bill+Kendrick · · Score: 2 · on Zaurus Sync Software (Finally) Available for Linux

    Froot rules. I'd love to see perl-SDL ported to the Zaurus, though (we have Perl, we have SDL)... ...then we might be able to play Frozen Bubble!!!

    Snood for the masses. I actually went to the trouble to PAY for Snood when I was using Windows, so I was a little bummed that I couldn't use it on Linux. But then I discovered the above solution. I also played the game that Snood was a ripoff of via an NES emulator.

    For a Linux equivalent, try Frozen Bubble.

    The closest thing to Snood under Linux is called Frozen Bubble. It's also got a really fun two-player mode that my wife and I enjoy together.

  8. It might not be a classic, but... by Sir+Joltalot · · Score: 5, Informative · on What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games?

    Frozen Bubble. Is that game ever addictive. The music is a bit repetitive but very fitting. And the cute little noises it makes when you shoot the little spheres.. delightful. An easy way to kill a few hours. It's Perl/SDL so I'm sure you could compile it on OS X.

    Two words... Frozen Bubble

    I have never seen an open-source style game that didn't look like a pile of crap... open source artists are not as good as professional artists

    Which means you haven't seen Frozen Bubble. This game looks fabulous! If you had seen it, you (hopefully) wouldn't make sweeping generalizations about the artists in the open source community.

    People, if you know any artists that have some free time, ask if they would be interested in getting involved in projects like these. Having a game under your belt, even for artists, can be a great portfolio starter to get you involved in the gaming industry.

    Have a look at Frozen Bubble then.

    A most excellent game suitable for kids of all ages!

  13. First stable distro to include Frozen-Bubble :-) ! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting · on Mandrake 8.2 Available

    (Warning! this is a shameless self advertisement ;p)

    Mandrake 8.2 is the first stable distro to include Frozen-Bubble, a full-featured game with colorful animated penguin eyecandy, 50 levels of 1p game, hours and hours of 2p game, 3 professional quality 20-channels musics, 15 stereo sound effects, and 7 unique graphical transition effects (erhm, this game has been sponsored by MandrakeSoft).

    (my own private conclusion: you need this game ;p)

    (thanks to contribs of many other people, hopefully the game is available for previous releases of Mandrake, for Debian, Red Hat and a few other distros)
