JuggleAnim Juggling Applet

Latest applet release: 1.1 (6/23/96)

Page was last modified on 6/23/96

JuggleAnim is my Java applet for animating juggling patterns. It's a little bare-bones at the moment, but at least it's fast and will let you animate arbitrary siteswaps.

  • Click here for some documentation.

  • Click here for the source.

  • Click here to download everything (run it locally for faster operation).

    •  The biggest problem people have had is that the applet is slow to load over the net. Although the code is fairly small, it is spread over 20 class files and takes a while to load. To speed things up, download the applet to your local system and run it locally with Netscape. An even faster solution is to get a copy of Sun's Java Development Kit and view the individual pattern files with the JDK's applet viewer.

    If you would like to use the applet interactively, please look at this page written by Joe Steger. It has a form interface to a CGI script he wrote for creating animation web pages on the fly. You might have to change some of his default values to make your pattern look good (throws/sec in particular). If you use Joe's page quite a bit, download your own copy of the applet to make things more efficient for everyone involved. Many thanks to Joe for his excellent work!

    Gallery of Patterns

    When you load the pages below you can click on an animation to pause/unpause it. (It will degrade performance to have too many animation applets running simultaneously.) More patterns will be added to this list. Any requests?

    JuggleMaster Patterns

    Here is a selection of patterns taken from Ken Matsuoka's excellent DOS program JuggleMaster. They are used here with his permission (thanks Ken!). Some of them look odd in part because our two programs deal with holds differently (look at the yo-yo for an example).
