Bubblegym First Game for the PowerBook Motion Sensor

Bubblegym is a tilt-controlled computer game for the 2005 Apple PowerBook G4.

As far as I know the very first computer game that reacts to how the machine is tilted. The 2005 Powerbooks have a chip on the logic board that is there to signal if the computer is dropped. Thanks to Amit Singh (kernelthread.com) this chip’s values can be read and utilized for your amuzement. The gameplay is simple but challenging, control the balls by leaning the computer and get to the clouds before they disappear. The program is donationshareware. Donate what you think it is worth and you get the full version.
