LabVIEW Bubble Wrap

[HunterSeeker]

This VI lets you pop bubble wrap with your mouse. Click your way to hours of fun!

(Christian Altenbach): Added a new version that adds sound effect and disallows unpopping. (Bubble Wrap (event based)_MODCA.zip ). Unzip and keep the sound file next to the VI. (LabVIEW 2013)

Popping bubbles is not much fun without the sound.

You should also consider some timing of the loop 😉

@Jiri

I added an event based VI that should be much more processor friendly.

can someone upload 2012 version?

[altenbach]

I am missing sound effects! (Just add one more event case).

It should also not be possible to un-pop a bubble.

You can also significantly simplify the "clean sheet" event.

Although I can play the WAV file of the

Bubble Wrap (event based)_MODCA.zip (24.6 K)

on my PC, when I run the VI, the first attempt to pop a bubble results in error:

"(Hex 0x12CA) Cannot recognize sound format."

I have the LabVIEW 2013 Full Development version.  Is something else required to play WAV files?

This is your mistake and happens of you run it directly from within the zip file instead of extracting it to a regular folder first. Extract the zip before running and everything should work just fine.

Right-clicking the zip file and selecting "extract all..." will do it.  Try it!

(Note that if you double-click a zip file in e.g. windows 7, it will open a built-in zip viewer that looks very similar to windows explorer. Don't confuse it with a regular folder view. The program will not be able to find the sound file in this scenario.)

Note that my instructions were very clear: "Unzip and keep the sound file next to the VI."
