Hi All,

2 minute demo of the up-coming desktop toy/pet coded in FreeBASIC using the WinAPI.

Pick up the cat with the right mouse button.
You can drop the cat on top of other programs, it will walk along the top of it!
It will try to catch the mouse.
If it catches the mouse, just click on the cat to release the mouse.
To quit, click on the cat and press the Escape key.

Enjoy!

Heh, fun little app...but I thought it was a game. :/

Cute.

Doesn't play nice with other "always on top" windows though.

Is there some method for sorting that out?

Not sure. It might be the other apps problem, or it might be Windows. Are you using GDI or DirectX?
Nothing crashed. One or the other disappears when they are in the same horizontal space.

I just tested it with a few other programs, and there was no problem, so I don't think it's your issue.

Some updates. There are some new "playing with the mouse" animations in there :)

I noticed that on my computer (win 7 64bit) it will run on the top of PROGRAM windows but not FOLDER windows. Is this the desired behavior?

[mambazo]

I've had similar reports from other windows 7 users. I don't have Windows 7 here so it will be tricky to fix, but I do intend to fix it!

As soon as I know what is causing this behavior, I will let you know in this thread :)

Very cool. I like how he jumps from a window an catches the mouse in the air. Can't wait to see the full version.

hehehe... this is pretty cool man. :)
i have a feature request... i'd like for him to shred folders & stuff. not to actually destroy data, of course(only lachie's :p)... but just like that dog one from microsoft used to do.

heh, sharpen his claws on the desktop icons or the edges of other windows? Maybe leave a "surprise" for you beside the recycling bin (instead of in it, anyone who's owned a cat knows about this :P )
