The online version of Partickles is already loading. This only takes
a moment. When the program has loaded the space below will display
a Start Partickles button. Click the button to start the
program. The first time you do this there will be a pause before
the program opens its main window, then a further pause of about
a minute while it loads its sounds and images.
Notes:
If you cannot see a blue box containing a
Start Partickles button on this page, check that Java is
enabled in the Options / Preferences of your browser.
Once Partickles has started - ie. when the board and
pieces have appeared - you can go offline and continue to play.
Leaving this page will stop Partickles from loading, or end a game
in progress - but if you use Partickles' Exit option it will
be easier for your browser to reclaim the memory used by Partickles.
If you are waiting for Partickles to load, you could spend the
time looking through the first of Partickle's help options. Click
this button...
...and the
Quick Intro help page will appear in a separate window.
