Rainbow Notes: Ingredients
|
 |
Rainbow notes needs two class files to work:
rainbow.class and
ActiveCanvas.class. The former is the applet
itself and the latter is a help class which handles user input to the
curve drawing areas.
It also needs some image data for the notes and stuff:
notes.gif.
The ready-made melody files are daisy.txt,
mcdonald.txt,
bosn.txt
willow.txt (yes, they look a little weird but they
make perfect sense to the applet). To make them accessible from the Load
menu, insert an applet parameter for each one like this:
<param name="file1" value="daisy.txt">
<param name="file2" value="mcdonald.txt">
<param name="file3" value="bosn.txt">
<param name="file4" value="willow.txt">
The first, "file1", will be the default melody when the applet starts.
To make the applet use proper titles for the files, insert corresponding
applet parameters like this:
<param name="title1" value="Daisy, Daisy">
<param name="title2" value="Old Macdonald">
<param name="title3" value="The Bos'n Rag">
<param name="title4" value="Weeping Willow">
The same principle applies to whatever melodies you create yourself.
