Juggler

Juggler 1.8 is a digital juggling simulator for the Classic Macintosh, written by Jim D. (anoved@softhome.net) and released as a PowerPC-native build via Info-Mac. The author bills it, with tongue firmly in cheek, as 'the world's best digital juggling simulator', inviting players to toss multi-colored balls in cascading patterns across the screen.

Watch a master juggle

The core loop puts you behind a virtual juggler whose hands toss balls into spectacular cascades. The visual emphasis is on the rhythm and beauty of the juggle rather than a score-driven game challenge.

Tweak every parameter

Juggler exposes the simulation's underlying parameters to the player, letting you adjust the physics, timing, and behavior of the toss to experiment with different juggling patterns.

Edit the graphics

Beyond simulation tweaks, the program also lets you edit the graphics used by the juggler with ease, encouraging customization of the look as well as the feel of each performance.

PowerPC native

This release is the 1.8PPC build, compiled for PowerPC Macs, and is distributed as a freely available download from the Info-Mac archive.
