A downloadable application for Windows

First, I would like to give credit to the person who made the Clippy 3D model and so gave me the ability to create this project.

The link to download the 3D model is:

🇧🇷 SamelCookies 🇧🇷 (@fog_) - Sketchfab


You close him by doing Alt+F4!

As any devout Clippy fan would, I decided to create my own Clippy desktop companion that you can run on Windows and any other device that supports Python. The script uses TKinter to overlay/animate him, allow for a lot of cool tricks! Currently, Clippy can:

  • Perform cool idle animations, such as blinking, wiggling, and glancing around
  • Look up stuff on the Microsoft Support site by triple-clicking him and entering a question
  • Make a comment anytime you delete a file
  • Get bored and ask you questions
  • Get dragged around by your mouse when you double click + drag
  • an editable config file that allows you to change all sorts of stuff, including how often Clippy asks a question (odds_of_question), how fast his animations play (animation_speed), and more! You can also create custom questions—I'll leave you to figure that out yourself.

If you have any Clippy ideas, or if you happen to find a bug, or if you just want to share in the joy only a Clippy fan can experience, feel free to leave a comment below!

Controls:

  • Single-click: nothing
  • Double-click + drag: drag Clippy
  • Triple-click: ask a question

I hope you like this Clippy! :)

DA OG CLIPPY IS BACK IN A DIFFERRENT WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah! :)

CLIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))

It's great that you like Clippy too!!! :)))

uh- my clippy just stopped working? He won't respond when I delete files, and he hasn't moved in over an hour.. I did change his odd of questions, but he just doesn't do anything anymore. No animations, no nothing. Is there a way to fix this? Should I just uninstall it and reinstall?

I don't know... I think you should try uninstall and reinstall?

First, though -- can you send me your config file? I want to see what you did.

Thanks for the comment! :)

I'd love to see more animations! Like his old silly animations, but it's an amazing program! I love having my silly little boy on my screen 24/7

hehe :)

I could add more animations over break...

I was thinking of making you be able to play Tic-Tac-Toe with Clippy. I don't know if I'll get to that, but it was an idea I had a little while ago.

That'd be fun! I'd love to see more of his older animations, but! Take your time :3

ITCH.IO SHOULD MAKE THIS A TOP NUMBER ONE DESKTOP PETS

:)

Yeah! :))

REALLY, THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS THE NUMBER ONE. NO CAP

the clippy app itself has a too much big hitbox or app frame (idk if it's called an app frame or a hitbox)

(1 edit)

Oh, OK...

What do you mean? I guess it's a little big; but I need the extra room to display the search box for triple-click and for things he asks you randomly.

Thanks for the comment! :)

nvm, sorry

Sure!

Thanks for the comment again! :)

how do i make him go away?

Oh, you click on him and to Alt+F4.

I should've thought of that and posted it in the description... Sorry!

I like it!

I do too!
