He hates losing as much as you love winning. So, to keep him frowning, take a minute to read over these instructions. Then, grab your buckets and bomb away!

Information
BaLListiX (with help from josh) has finished writing a clone of KabooM! for the iPod!
Kaboom! is considered to be one of Activision's signature games, and sticks to the basic principle of being simple, addictive, and fun. At the top of the screen is the Mad Bomber, a guy decked out in classic prison garb, moving back and forth dropping bombs like crazy. You control three buckets of water near the bottom of the screen, which must catch each bomb by use of a paddle controller. If you miss a bomb, any onscreen bombs (including the one you missed) will explode, you lose a bucket, and the Mad Bomber will smile at you. One might say this was the first case of 'someone setting them up the bomb!' Earning a score of 3,000 points or more allowed you to send your score to Activision so they could enroll you in the elite Bucket Brigade.
KabooM! has been ported to pz2! (thanks to josh!). Inside the tar.gz file you will find all the needed files.

Installation
pz0:
Installation of KabooM! is actually relatively simple.
- Compile KabooM! any way you like.
- Put that file on your iPod.
- Copy all of the pictures onto your iPod INTO THE SAME LOCATION AS THE COMPILED KABOOM!. For example, if you compiled podzilla and put it into /sbin, the pictures must be put into /sbin as well.
- Boot up Linux (for iPod of course), and enjoy the game!
pz2:
Install it just like you would any other module!
