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 XML file (animations.xml) it is possible to change pet and animations.
In this way, this pet is able to walk, run, etc around your working screen area (on primary screen). You can download a compiled Windows EXE from this page: http://esheep.petrucci.ch There is also a documentation for the entire code: API Docs This project used other Open Source projects: The easy and fast way is to use the online editor: Online editor. But you can also download the original animations.xml and create your own desktop mate/pet.
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, fallow the Wiki page.
