After a lot of hard work and a lot of testing, FB2 is released on
27th of October 2006. This new release brings the following new
features:
new 1-player game mode: multiplayer training; uses identical
game rules as multiplayer, generated malus bubbles are counted
as points - what score will you be able to reach in the 2
minutes time frame?
network (Internet) game: up to 5 players in a game (net game
system has logic able to transparently handle players behind
a NAT)
LAN game: similar to network game except that no connection to
Internet is made, substituted by polling the local network
fully revamped graphics, including now 3d-based smooth penguin
eyecandy
revamped intro and 1p music into fully digital productions
full joystick support: just move your joystick(s) or push
buttons in the "change keys" dialog (analog joysticks handled
as digital for fair play)
realtime graphical effects in the menu screen (if your computer
is fast enough)
anti-aliased and localized messages
Now let's pray for the stability of the Frozen-Bubble Internet game
servers (check the top of the page which contains an ever-updated
aggregate statistical information about all servers).
Fix the version test for p5-SDL, so that this at least continues
to build after the recent update of p5-SDL to 2.1.2. Note that
I've only compile tested this with the new p5-SDL; I'm not in a
position to test it more fully right now.
Changes:
Nearly exactly one year after the first ever release of Frozen-Bubble, the
team strikes back with a new release providing major features enhancements:
* a level editor has been added
* the 1p-game now comes with 100 levels (instead of 50)
* all the graphics have been re-designed
* the 2p-game features the chain-reaction mechanism (as an option)
* manual pages (from Debian)
