Clippy Desktop
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! :)
