The newly released remastered Bubble Bobble for C64 includes a fix for an old bug where the game ended even if you still had credits. Now it waits until you're actually out.

This would be my website, I guess.

What are the differences?

Normal. A game is never ”done”. You just have to draw the line at some point and stop working on it.

Oh, you already got it running on macos! That’s amazing. Do you have a binary?

I tried visualizing the wind currents in Bubble Bobble for the c64.

The dots spawn at the center of each tile and move the direction of the current. After the dots have moved one tile, the animation is repeated.

Randomly spawned dots would looks better. Might try later.

Looks real nifty. Would you mind sharing the project on github? I’d love to try it on Bubble Bobble.

Did you port the existing python/vala or did you have to rewrite?

I disassembled the c64 game Bubble Bobble to find out how wind currents work.
