Rainbowduino ParticleSys error

[fredebear]

I get this error and cannot compile the code I downloaded from Github.
no matching function for call to 'ParticleSys::ParticleSys(const byte&, Particle_Fixed [70], Emitter_Fountain*)'
Can anyone point me to a fix?
Thanks in advance.

Please post the full sketch, using code tags when you do, and a link to where you downloaded it from

Sorry but I don't know what CODE TAGS are.

Yes it worked. Now I understand. Thanks
