How to run

Microputt is a flash player game meaning that you can't run it in modern browsers. However there is a emulator project called ruffle that tries to replicate flashplayer engine using Javascript and rust. You can use ruffle to replace flashplayer dependenci and run the game.

Required files

Microputt only needs 3 files to work:

MicroPutt.swf - Flash Game Source
MicroPuttContent.txt - Content data (title,level text) (vis: Configuration)
MicroPuttBG.jpg - Game background (494x300 jpeg) (vis: Configuration)

as for ruffle you can either use the CDN hosted version or host it your self. For that I recommend you to read the official ruffle documentation.

Hosting

Hosting is actually pretty simple as everything runs in the browser.

All files must be in the same directory. I strongly recommend creating a dedicated folder for microputt so that you don't accidentally delete the data files.

Embeding

There are 2 options (both supported by ruffle) how to embed microputt.

Ruffle embed (recommended)

<div id="game-microputt"></div>
<script>
const fileURL = "./microputt/MicroPutt.swf";
let container = document.getElementById("game-microputt");
if (window.innerWidth > 600) { // Don't embed on small devices
    let ruffle = window.RufflePlayer.newest();
    let player = ruffle.createPlayer();
    container.appendChild(player);
    player.ruffle().load(fileURL);
    player.style.width = "494px";
    player.style.height = "300px";
}
</script>

Flash embed (for legacy use)

<object width=”494″ height=”300″ data=”./microputt/MicroPutt.swf” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”>
    <param name=”src” value=”./microputt/MicroPutt.swf” />
</object>

Where to download?

You can try to download this game from the Original site but lots of assets are missing and hard to get.
Thats why I spend some time searching the internet and managed to find all required assets (mainly the background templates) and archived them.
Here are the links to download them:

kDrive
Assets (JAP)
Archive.org (Planned)

Changing the text

Changing the text is as simple as editing one file.
All content (game title,putt text, etc...) is stored in MicroPuttContent.txt and can be modified in any way. The only limitation are & characters as they are used as variable key prefixes.

Changing the design

Changing the background is little more advanced as you need to use an image editor and combine multiple images into one.

To change the design you need to download the base template, edit it how you want and save it as MicroPuttBG.jpg (size: 494x300) next to MicroPutt.swf. You can also combine multiple templates (for example colored + black) by using the provided mask.
