Frozen-Bubble Help

Frozen-Bubble Description

The Frozen-Bubble game is a free software implementation of a popular arcade/reflex game. The game mainly consists of firing randomly chosen bubbles across the board. If the shoot ends up having a clump of at least 3 bubbles of the same color, they all pop. If some bubbles were sticked only on the popping clump, they fall. In 1-player mode, the goal is to pop all the bubbles on the board as quickly as possible. In 2-player mode, you have to get your opponent to "die" before you.

Level Editor Description

This editor lets you manipulate level-sets, in which you can add, remove and modify levels thanks to a mouse-oriented interface (there are also many interesting keyboard shortcuts). The interface is very straightforward: click on the written planches on the left an right parts of the screen to perform the relevant actions, and on the level area to change the bubble color; use the "void" bubble (or right-click) to remove a bubble.

The following key shortcuts are available during level editing:

p, h, left	previous level
n, l, right	next level
up	first level
down	last level
a	append level
i	insert level

q, ESC	quit
Return	accept dialog
