A C# desktop application that recreates the classic 1995 eSheep screen mate, showing an animated pet that walks and falls around your desktop and interacts with windows. Pets and animations are defined via a simple XML file, and a companion editor lets users create custom pets.
Use cases
- add a fun animated pet to my windows desktop
- bring back the classic esheep screen mate from 1995
- create my own desktop pet with custom animations
- have a sheep walk across my taskbar and over windows
- run multiple screen mates on a multi-monitor setup
- embed an animated pet on my webpage
When to choose
- you want a nostalgic desktop pet on Windows 7/8/10

- you want a portable exe with no installation
When to avoid
