Atomic Bomberman alpha demo
Package
The tested April 7, 1997 alpha is the ready-to-run BMANDEMO tree from the
local Windows 98 A-D compatibility archive documented in sources.md. That
selected package contains no setup program, cabinet, or self-extractor, so
launching _BOMB.EXE does not bypass an available installer. The package and
all gameplay files stay local and gitignored.
Pinned SHA-256 values:
_BOMB.EXE:0ff14a352d6626660ceb66ea0e6743cd33c457e754cfd5705120bacae0530638LEVELS.DAT:7f647eb426f93799e190b5697bec20c81d350cc5cc23b0adc9a29e2d814ad796README.BM:8cf26bf5541592dae04769eb3e50a90b506214dd1941ab84b15f445faadf3433
The bundled readme describes the release as unsupported and says all rights are reserved. It grants no redistribution permission, so neither the loose tree nor the executable belongs in a public deployment.
Gameplay route
test/test-atomic-bomberman-gameplay.js launches the registered browser app
in headless Chromium. It waits for each publisher logo to render, skips it,
and synchronizes on the title, main menu, input selection, options, and arena
frames. Four Enter presses select
Start Regular Game, keyboard input, the default level options, and the match.
The acceptance then holds Right, presses Space, and captures the arena before
movement, after movement, with a placed bomb, and during its explosion. It
requires the game to remain live, rejects browser/runtime compatibility
failures, and checks rich arena pixels, visible movement, bomb placement, and
explosion colors. Captures are written to
build/local-candidate-smoke/atomic-bomberman/.
