While there are more pets and actual toys to come, I mainly made this so anyone could make their own projects and import them.   

How to Use:

Open the menu by right clicking on the pet.  Change your pet, delete, or import new ones with relative ease!

Pets may support left clicking to produce particle effects.

For importing pets, you will need to know how large your pet is, ie 64x128, a unique pet name, and the path to your pet.  You can either type in the path, or click the button.  For your convenience there is a YourPets folder to store your pets.  Also, there are options for an icon and description, while these aren't necessary they are fun things to differentiate between pets.

Supported Platforms:

Currently supports Windows and Linux, appropriate exes are found in their folders.  You can delete the ones you don't use.

Note:  For Linux users, I don't have Linux and am not sure how well the transparency works.  I would be delighted to know.

Note 2:  For Mac users, I don't plan on Mac support for a variety of reasons.  However, I plan to release the source code at some point in the future.

Make Your Own Pet/Toy:

Import Note:  You can make your pet/toy as big as you want, but it may obscure your desktop.  If you need a good idea of how big something is, the test pet is 128x128. 

Very Important Note: 

Your pet needs to be added to a group called Pet, otherwise changing pets won't work correctly.

If you want to make your own, you will need to download Godot 4.3 or above (completely free on their website).  If you need help, there are plenty of tutorials and documentation.  If you want more specific help, or another example, see the credit below.  Remember, I believe in your abilities and hope to hear about what you've made.

In the YourPets folder I have included an example scene with code.  Please note, neither the scene or code should be used as examples of best practices.
