Omg your tutorial is amazing!!! Thank you so much! I wish I had seen this before I spent all the time figuring it out haha, making the tkinter background transparent was a nightmare
Aww thank you! I'm happy you found it useful. I learnt it from another tutorial, but found the code a bit confusing.
At some point I'd like to try making a desktop pet with another programming language or library. Looks like pygame could be a good choice, but I'm guessing any other game framework/library that can draw transparent windows would work well too.
I was in the process of respriting the bird into my own version, the left and right gifs work fine but if I resprite the digging gif (either one) it doesn't work. Any idea as to why?
Hi! It's not open source right now, but I might open source it in the future when I decide on a license. My code has no comments though. I did write a tutorial that should get you set if you're looking to do something similar: here. It's a bit of a work-in-progress though. There's also another tutorial if you google "python desktop pet tutorial", but I found it a bit confusing. Hope that helps!

Why does it keep bashing its head like that? Cardinals dont behave like that.
is this a virus?
nah
can you make a mac version?
why does VirusTotal says this got a trojan?🤨
Unfortunately it's a common issue for python programs packaged with Pyinstaller or cx_Freeze :(

Thanks for your work and tutorial. The bird is very cute.
Could I use your code to make desktop pets for my friends and me?
I hope my poor English doesn't offend you🥺
Sure! You can do whatever you want with the tutorial code. I'm glad you found it useful. :)

Your English is actually very good.

why does my birb not fly
I would like to know this as well
I never added flying. Maybe if I continue working on it, I'll add it someday.

Nice
i paired it with desktop goose, desktop meadow, desktop crewmate, and desktop pets(customizable)
*opens every single desktop pet i have just to be stupid*
What a gorgeous bird!!
I was in the process of respriting the bird into my own version, the left and right gifs work fine but if I resprite the digging gif (either one) it doesn't work. Any idea as to why?
Perhaps you're using a different number of frames? That's my only guess
is this open source? if so, could i please get a link to it's source? thanks!
