Maybe I'll write a direct draw version one day.Īs of version 1.05, an open source version, this program uses the zlib license. However, I'm not going to do anything about it. There's a bit of flickering, and that's because of the quick and dirty GDI drawing code. Since the game is so simple, no installation needed - just run the executable directly.Įxecution speed on an old PIII/733 was acceptable. It's a plain zip file containing a single executable. If you want to waste some time playing, you can download the compiled version here. The game logic looks like it's working properly. The bubbles used to be square blocks (because I was lazy) instead of actual round bubbles, but as of version 1.04, the bubbles are ray-traced phong-shaded super-sampled spheres (I.E. I did it this way because the windows compile is more a test harness for the game logic than anything else. The code isn't the greatest, and the drawing is all done using win32 GDI calls (no MFC, no frameworks, just pure win32 GDI). What's important is that the gameplay is quite addictive. I keep track of the moves and averages, and it is possible for the game to end. There really isn't any point to the game. Other differences are that the game is played on a 12 x 12 grid, and there's no sound. This has the effect of making the game last a lot longer. The biggest difference is the addition of new playing blocks dropping down in a row, instead of new playing blocks only coming from the left. This version behaves slightly differently since I decided that if I was going to write it, I wanted to play it the way I liked. Personally, I think it looks and plays better too, but my opinion is obviously biased. A search on google for " bubble breaker" turns up a bunch of results, but this version has the advantage of being completely free (not a trial, not shareware, but completely free as in open source). Initially, I couldn't find a version for windows (because I didn't remember what the game was called), so I wrote one myself. This is a clone of the bubble breaker game I found on an IPAQ running windows mobile (the most exact PC clone I've found is KDI's Jawbreaker).
