Desktop Pet (eSheep)

Can you remember eSheep, the lovely desktop sheep?
If you had a lot of them on the desktop... welcome to this page!
This project gives you the possibility to add a pet to your desktop.

With a simple XML file (animations.xml) it is possible to change pet and animations.

Application

This application is not a game, not an utility and not useful :P it simply shows you a pet on the screen. This pet can fall down up to the taskbar and is able to detect windows on your desktop.
In this way, this pet is able to walk, run, etc around your working screen area (also on multiscreens).

Want to create your own mate/pet?

I am working on an offline editor: Download offline editor from GitHub.
What you need are:

• 1 application icon (.ico file)
• 1 animation image: an image with transparency with all possible positions. (.png not too big... Something like 1000x500 px)

For more info about editing the xml file and add your own pet, follow the Wiki page.
or download the manual to develop your pet online: Manual-online editor.docx

If you like this project, you can donate 2-3$. I will use them to pay certificates or paying someone to create new sprites
