The Reconstructors has been developed with both home and school access in mind. We combine technology and content appropriate for everyone from beginning to expert computer users.
Plug-in Needed
To play The Reconstructors, you must have version 4 (or greater) of Adobe
Shockwave Flash Player installed on your computer. Most newer web browsers
include this feature already, but if you find that it's not part of you browser's
package, you may download the current Shockwave Flash plug-in from Adobe's
web site.
Platforms
Because The Reconstructors uses Flash animation to keep file sizes small, it will run efficiently on the variety of computer platforms found in homes and schools. Our suggested minumum requirements for platforms are:
For best performance, use a computer with at least 128 MB of memory.
Browsers
Although many web browsers are satisfactory for use with the Reconstructors
web adventures, we have found that the following browsers offer the most
optimal viewing experience:
Bandwidth
We have tried to optimize the loading time for files for persons using a 56K modem. The game file itself is around 1.1 megabytes and will require several minutes to load if done over a modem. Using a T1 line, cable modem, ISDN, or ADSL, the load time is negligible (10-30 seconds).
If using a dial-up modem allow for 2 - 4 minutes to be sure components are completely downloaded.
