History
In 2001, Guillaume Cottenceau started writing the original Frozen Bubble game in Perl while using the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library.[2][3] The music was made with FastTracker II by demoscener Matthias Le Bidan.[4] Alexis Younes and Amaury Amblard-Ladurantie created the sprites and background graphic artwork with GIMP.[5] The game is released under the GNU GPL-2.0-only. There is a version programmed in Perl and another one programmed in Java. The Perl-version runs on POSIX-compatible operating systems, e.g. Linux and the BSDs, while the Java-version runs on any operating system that supports Java.[2]
