"jhill" had some very interesting things to
say about OT running bubbels as a standalone:

I have figured out how to run bubbels on my Windows XP machine as a
standalone, so I don't have to be connected to the web to play it. The
process is somewhat long, but I will post it if enough are interested.


I've found that once it's loaded in Netscape, I can play offline. DH
says he's going to figure out how to save the file to my system. :-)
[I'm on Windows 2000, so I'm not sure an XP process would work for
me.]

No, no, no - last night after working late I was too tired to do anything
else and tried out the bubbles
and I did manage to kill them all! What a relief that was!! =)

Don't bring them back!!
;P
(after all the bubbles was cleared there was some message that I guess was
if I wanted to move up one level so clicked and had to try agian of course,
the bubbles are now advancing somewhat faster ...)

What's a good score? I got a couple of 32K scores.

I think that is good. I had only one above that (79K) but most are pretty
low and then about half of the rest are around 29K. I canNOT get all the
bubbles cleared which really irks me! I know it has been done so it can BE
done. I must go on until it happens.

It does, it does ... It will, it will ... =)

somewhere after 100K the refilling of Bubbles gave up, and then it counted
up whatever so the end figure was some 217K

Thats debatable. If you are aiming to get the highest score, I think in the
100k region is pretty good. However, if you are aiming to finish the game,
one would argue that the lowest score possible is desirable. I don't think
you could finish a game with a score lower than 50k though (I could be wrong
on that)
