Bubblegym is a game designed for Apple Powerbooks that can be controlled using tilting movements. It offers a unique gaming experience for users who enjoy interactive games.
Bubblegym is an innovative game that takes advantage of a unique feature in the latest Powerbooks: the Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS). This tilt-sensitive game is designed to leverage the SMS system to create a fun and engaging gaming experience on your notebook computer.
The SMS system is built into the latest Powerbooks to protect the hard drive if the machine is dropped or suddenly shifted. It uses a chip built into the logic board to lift the reader from the hard drive's track. Bubblegym uses this sensor to control the game, allowing you to tilt your notebook and manipulate objects on the screen.
Bubblegym requires a computer equipped with an Apple Motion Sensor, which includes all the 12", 15", and 17" Powerbooks G4, all iBooks released after March 2005, as well as all Intel portable machines. This application was created to run under Mac OS X and was tested only on version 10.4.7.
The app has a demo mode for unregistered users. While you can move around and try out the ability to control objects by tilting the Powerbook, you cannot play the game in this mode. The registered version has no such limitations.
The latest release features a universal binary and updated default behavior for many new models. Most MacBooks and MacBook Pro laptops are now supported, and users are encouraged to send feedback if the tilting feels backward on their particular machine.
Overall, Bubblegym is an exciting and unique game that leverages the SMS system in a new and innovative way. It's well worth trying out if you have a compatible notebook computer.
