# 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.
[![eSheep for 64bit systems](https://img.youtube.com/vi/xN90p16tKGE/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN90p16tKGE) 

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).
