While many have spoke of the game "FrozenBubble",
from what I can determine, it requires OpenGL.
To which I have no clue if our xservers can even support it.
SDL/Perl must have libgl.so.1 and glx to run FrozenBubble

So here's a lightweight clone that plays well.
XBubble is happy to run in X with our xservers.
It doesn't have the nice soundtrack, or the great graphics.
It does offer 1 or 2 player, handicapping, challenge mode, and a few themes.

You can find it in the myDSL extension testing area..

Awaiting feedback..

Cheers. Good work.

I put it together with love and care...
I posted up in the forums about it...
I placed it in the repository with Xephem and Xpat2...
I forgot to place it in the html page

Funny me....

I'll fix that when I get home...
[edit]
Honey', I'm Home! ...

Got it now, thanks. This is awesome. It looks like they even ripped the textures straight out of frozen bubble (A very good thing. tm)
