1-Screen Program
Pon Pon Pon Potsu! A cute computer fireworks viewing software where they launch one after another.
That’s right, the fireworks go pon, pon. But this isn’t a game.
So this is a pot?
It spreads out… and then disappears.
This is just for watching.
I want to make this clear from the start, but this is not a game. So, please don’t ask me “How do you play this?” later.
Type it in with a light heart, and when you RUN it, a small flower bud will pop out from the top left and launch with a pon, pon, then disappear one character at a time. If you could really make advertising fireworks like this, you’d make a fortune, wouldn’t you?
Author’s Portrait & Bio
BY よっちゃん (Yotchan)
A middle-aged man with kids who has been using a computer for 2 and a half years.
(In his own words) “It’s my first time having something I submitted get accepted, so I’m happy enough to introduce myself. I’m not boasting, but I am middle-aged. The reason is I have two children, and my wife is one person. Furthermore, for the sake of my protruding belly from drinking, I grew into a splendid middle-aged man. It’s just a story about my growth, but it’s only been about 2 and a half years since I started using a computer. (That’s all.)”
