Introduction
------------

This is a clone of the classic video game Bubble Bobble for the TI82,
TI83 and TI83+ graphing calculators.  You control a dinosaur named
Bub.  You shoot magic bubbles at the enemies to trap them inside, then
while the enemies are trapped, you pop the bubbles.  You get more points
for popping more bubbles at the same time.  When you kill an enemy, it
leaves behind fruit, which you can collect for even more points.

This is an beta version, and the game is not yet fully complete.


Controls
--------

The arrow keys move Bub left or right.  The Up arrow or Alpha key makes
Bub jump.  The 2nd key makes Bub shoot a magic bubble.  If you hold down
a jump button while falling on a bubble, you will bounce up on it.  Use
this trick to reach high places!

The Del key saves the game and quits, Clear ends the game and quits.
Math turns off the power mid-game.
