I completed it in 7 tries last time i got there.  The key is to manage
your resources well.  if you get a bubble that can't do anything useful,
put it someplace where it will fall away once you _do_ get something
useful.  i.e. put it right under two orange bubbles, then when you get
an orange buble you knock out the oranges + the useless bubble.

It also helps to have played the game for far, far too long.

Hrm, well, I guess that in this case I for one'll have to announce my intent
to cease doing Debian development (and maybe C programming in general)...

Cheers,

Actually, since both frozen-bubble and debhelper (and most of dpk-dev)
are written in perl, I've been cooking up a little debian development,
um, IDE. Details eventually.

This is really annoying.

Maybe we have to find a way to prevent the game from working on the
developers' machines.
Does anyone mind my adding a conflict with debhelper (and maybe
libc6-dev) ?

Oh good, I thought it was just me.  I zip through the levels fairly fast
on average, and then level 50 ... bink bink bink ... little crying
penguins every few minutes...

And yet, completing level 50 takes several hours.  If you're lucky.

How on earth is robster supposed to get up to level 50? Have you seen
him playing?

This should work out for everybody else, though.

Nice tautology.

There's a simple workaround.  Once you finish level 50 it gets very boring.
