Want to use the 'psychedeliscope' applet on your site?


Or just download it to run in your browser when you're not online?

(See the "Screensaver" section, below, for instructions.)

Here are the files you need:

Download either...

PLEASE NOTE that this is now VERSION 2.0, as of February 12, 2001.

If you previously downloaded the files wjbgrafxStarPoly.class and appFrame.class, then you have version 1.0.

Version 2.0 adds an internal frame rate control, so the applet will run at approximately the same speed on all processors. In addition, the frame rate setting can be changed in the applet tag via the FrameRate parameter. Valid values are integers or decimal numbers to tenths precision.

The default frame rate setting is 200.0. My Pentium120 can just about get to a frame rate of 190 with this applet, so the majority of your visitors will see it run at the 200 frame rate, and yet it will still run adequately fast for those of us with antique machines.

 
 
If you'll be using the program on your website, please send me the address of the page on which you'll be using the applet, or at least your entry-page address, if you haven't yet decided where it will go. Thank you!

 

Use this applet tag in your html file:

        <APPLET CODE="wjbgrafxStarPoly2.class" WIDTH=310 HEIGHT=310>        
	<! ---------------------------->
	<! psychedeliscope version 2.0 >
	<! ---------------------------->
	<PARAM NAME="FrameRate"  VALUE="200.0">
	
	Java applet running here. If you see this text,
        your browser isn't java-enabled, or your browser
        preferences aren't set to allow java.
        </APPLET>

The applet's WIDTH and HEIGHT are REQUIRED to be set to 310, but as you've seen, the display window itself is resizable.

 

If you'd like a button to use on your site, perhaps to link from your main page to a separate page containing the applet (suggested setup), here's one you can use:

Use your browser's "Save picture as..." utility to download the button.
It's a 256-color, interlaced, non-transparent gif, WIDTH=201 HEIGHT=83 .

 
 

Using a Java Applet As A "ScreenSaver" :

The psychedeliscope can be used in a manner similar to, but not exactly the same as, a standard Windows screensaver.

Because java applets require the "Java Virtual Machine" software embedded in a browser to run, the applet can't run in a regular Windows window... but your web browser will run just fine even when you're not connected online.

In Win95, the easiest way to do this is to put the 3 files contained in the attached zip file into one folder, open that folder with the Explorer file browser, and double-click on the file name "psych.html". This *should* automatically start your default web browser, and open to the psych.html page, and start the psych applet.

If nothing happens when you double-click on the psych.html file name, then the file association settings are probably not set correctly. This is easy to fix. In the Win95 HELP utility, look in the index for the phrase "associating file types with programs", which will guide you to the window where you can associate htm and/or html files with your default browser program.
