You need a browser that can handle Java.

<applet code=aquarium.class name=aquarium width=600 height=400 >

<param name=fish value="8">

<param name=background value="background-coral1.jpg">

<param name=foreground value="foreground.gif">

</applet>

The applet's class files are aquarium.class and fish.class. You'll need to upload both of these.

Set the number of fish in the fish value, and the name of the background file in the background value. If you want a foreground to show the fish swimming behind something, use a transparent GIF and set it in the foreground value. An added foreground will slow the applet down a considerably.

Example with foreground.

Included backgrounds are:
coral
plants
sunken treasure

Include foreground:
rock

The fish files are numbered for each fish. Each fish has a left and right image. All the fish images need to be gif.

Examples:
fish1-left.gif
fish1-right.gif

This can be used for anything where the images move around a background. Use it for animals, birds, cars, planes, etc. However, the file names need to follow the fish name convention.

Enjoy!

If you have a web site and place the aquarium on your site, I may include your link on my site. Please let me know your site's address.

Feedback is welcome.

Thank you,
