Q: What are those whole bunch of ***.java files?
A: If you have got no ideas what they are, you can just throw them away.

How to use JuggleMaster Java (now more helpful thanks to Mr. Isaac Orr)

You should have two applet windows open - one is the control panel window and the other is the view window, where the actual juggling patterns are displayed. All user interface is done through the control panel - the view window is for viewing only. Please note that you can not close these windows by pressing on the [x] at the top right corner of the window; They belong to an applet and therefore will close only when you exit the applet by selecting 'quit' from the control panel menu.

Using the program to render one of the pre-programmed patterns is fairly straightforward - simply scroll down to that pattern and double click it. The pattern will start playing in the view window, while you may alter its parameters using the control panel - setting the desired speed, height etc. (you can get a "GloBall" effect by eliminating the siteswap text and the juggler's body). Note that your control panel changes are applied only when you press the 'Juggle' button.
If you find Jmj is too exhaustive for your computer, reduce the value of 'smoothness'.

In addition to selecting predefined patterns from the list you may also insert and view siteswaps of your own fancy (so long as they constitute legal patterns). Select 'try a new siteswap' from the 'option' menu and type in your siteswap of choice. Here are a few guidelines:

• Don't put any space between the digits. e.g.:7531 is ok, NOT 4_4_1
• Replace '10', '11' , ... with a, b, ... , z. This allows siteswap up to 'z' = 35.
  e.g.: the 7 ball shower is d1.
• The number of balls in the pattern should not exceed 35. e.g., [ma][gnu]s is not acceptable, because you need 43 balls.
• Put numbers in [ ] (square brackets) for the multiplexed throws, i.e. throws of sevral balls at once.
  e.g. '5 ball splits' is [54][22]2.
• For synchronous patterns, double the numbers. The throws from both hands should appear in a parenthesis, separated by a comma.
  e.g: the 4 ball synchronous fountain is (4,4), NOT (2,2).
• Append 'x' after the digit for the throw crossed from hand to hand. Balls without 'x' come back to the hand of the throw.
  e.g., Box is (4,2x)(2x,4)

Of 'Pattern File'

JuggleMaster itself does not contain informations of patterns. It reads 'pattern file' for the source of tricks.

You must have received two pattern files, pattern.jm and pattern_ja.jm, and the former is loaded automatically when JuggleMaster starts.
* The latter is written in Japanese. If you get interested, try it.

These two come from the original DOS version of JuggleMaster, which are the great pieces of work by Ken Matsuoka.

The versions included here also contain many, many extra tricks (of great fun!) given by Isaac Orr and his fellows.

You can load other pattern files by choosing 'load a pattern file' from the pulldown menu 'option'. It will lose the memory of former patterns, except arm motion styles.

Syntax of Pattern File

Read pattern.jm and you'll see. It is just a normal text file.
A few changes for Java version will only be given here.

• All the upper limitations written in pattern.jm are removed, except the length of the pattern, which should be of less than 200 letters.
• 'Style' in the original is called 'arm motion' here.

But don't worry, I only am escaped to tell thee.

%style name
{ x1, y1}{ x2, y2}
{ x1, y1}{ x2, y2}
....

The first line corresponds to the first throw, and the second is ..., and so on. x1,y1 are the x/y coordinates at which the ball is catched, and at x2,y2 thrown. The scale is like following:

	value	position	range
x	10 0 -10	below the throwing shoulder center of the body under the opposite shoulder	-30 to +30
y	10 0	face level stomach level	-10 to 20

This way of 'style' definition is proper to JuggleMaster, and not universal like the siteswap notation.

<APPLET> tag syntax

<APPLET CODE="Jmj.class" ARCHIVE="jmj103.jar" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0></APPLET>

I think this suffices if you like to know.
Those <PARAM> tags can also be used.

• <PARAM NAME="file" VALUE="URL/filename">
  Load specified URL when it starts.
• <PARAM NAME"startwith" VALUE="pattern name/siteswap">
  Start with the given siteswap,
  or, start specified pattern after loading the pattern file.
  * Be exact with cases and spaces.
