Download - Messy Method

Explanation of this method...
This page causes your computer to load all of Partickles' resource files. You can retrieve these files from your system, and build a version of Partickles that can be run from a browser at any time. The details of the files to retrieve, and the html file and folders you will need to create, are in the "Details of the Files" section of this page.

You will also need to try out the online version of Partickles on the Play now page - which is a good test of whether your computer can run Partickles. The online version will load Partickles' Java class files into your system as it runs.

On Windows systems files loaded from the Internet are stored in a folder named something like:
     "C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files"
Other systems should have a similar storage area. A "Find" or "Search" facility can be used to locate the files you require, so that these can be copied and then pasted into the folders you create.

If you wish to proceed with this method, you should wait until this page has fully loaded. You will be able to see the graphics files loading, though they will be scaled to a quarter of their usual size. They will appear, together with players for the sound files, in the " Loading images and sounds" section below.

Details of the files...
You will need to create a Partickles folder containing:

      Pkles.html
      15 files of type < name>.class
      images (folder)
      sounds (folder)
Pkles.html - is a file containing the following code: 
   <applet
      code=Pkles.class
      name=Pkles 
      width=230
      height=120>
   </applet>
 You could make this file yourself, or click here to go to a sample Pkles.html page that you can save.
The 15 files of type < name>.class are: Complayer.class, Control.class, Dbox.class, dir_val.class, Game.class, HelpFrame.class, LinkedMove.class, Mbox.class, Move.class, OKbox.class, Part.class, Partickle.class, Pkles.class, PklesFrame.class and Pthread.class.
The images folder should contain eighty-seven gif files: one named bkgrnd.gif, twenty-seven named cont*.gif (* being all the figures from 0 to 26), and fifty-nine named part*.gif (* being all the figures from 0 to 58).
The sounds folder should contain twenty-one au files: clap*.au (* being all the figures from 1 to 5), combine.au, comp_hum.au, dbox_close.au, dbox_open.au, hand.au, highlight.au, jump.au, key.au, miow.au, push.au, resist.au, side.au, step.au, swap.au, turn.au and unpack.au.

Once you have copied all the Partickles files into their appropriate folders, open the Pkles.html file with your browser (or vice versa), and click the "Start Partickles" button when it appears.

NB. You can choose your own name for the Partickles folder and Pkles.html file (though the latter should end with .html). All the other files must retain the names given above.

Loading images and sounds...
You could save each of the gif files below individually instead of retrieving them from your temporary Internet files storage folder... they will be saved at full size. Nevertheless, this would be incredibly tedious and you will still need to search your system for the sound files and class files. You can hear the sound files now, if you press the play buttons on the players below (but you do not have to do this).
