Inspiration
Since this is out first hackathon we wanted to go for the fun prizes. We were inspired by "most useless hack" which made us think about the desktop "stupid goose" application. A goose which causes invonveniances to the user.
What it does
Similar to a screenlock ransomware virus, we animated a desktop pet who will unlessh undeletable popup windows prompting users various things in order to remove the window. Basically its akin to a virus. Very inconveniate.
How we built it
Python gui and pixel art animation using the tkinter library and aseprite.
Challenges we ran into
Downloading the correct IDEs and compilers took a while. Furthermore we both have no experience with GUI so getting used to all the options was a hassle.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Pixal art and getting fonctionning guis such as a gif.
What we learnedi
Pixel art and gui.
What's next for MyEvilPet
Different types of popups. Cursor control. More animation.
