Hey, guys!

I've made a foundation for the Clippy desktop, but I'm having trouble cutting the spritesheet for the animations. It'll take a bit.

   Estaba pensando en añadirle al pets que ejecute algunas tareas muy especificas usando comandos por voz, la idea seria tomar el comando por voz , llevarlo a texto, analizar el texto y ejecutar la tarea especifica, tipo un Jarvis de madera lol , pero esta muy buena la idea del clippy , era lo que necesitaba

Hey guys! Check out the most recent devlog!

SUMMER PLANS.png

https://bannanaboy.itch.io/clippy-desktop/devlog/934673/summer-plan

Actually, come to think of it, it is the only devlog...

it would be so cool if you added easter eggs if you questioned clippy he knows any of the microsoft agents? (not the copilot one)

I love that idea!!!

I was thinking of doing things like that myself, but I wasn't sure if the people's wanted it to be a practical Clippy or funny Clippy. So I'll go the funny route!!!

YESSS thanks for asking that!!!

I'm going to post a devlog of all the updates I plan to do over the summer.

Thanks for commenting!

no problem

Question: Does a higher value in the odds_of_question mean higher odds, or more time you need to wait?

(2 edits)

It's the time you need to wait, sorry.

Every frame (0.1 sec), it'll do a random number from 1-the odds_of_question variable, and if it's 1, Clippy will ask you a "question". Yay! I'll make this more clear in a bit...

By the way, over summer break I'll do a large update!

So, hold on tight! I'm going to release a devlog or something with the exact details... :)

I want to download it, but in my opinion. it needs also a chat bot So then you can talk to Clippy and he's there to keep you company So he will use the old Microsoft Sam voice. This is just an idea. And try to make it a app. that it's not that hard to instal. So you don't need two different softwares running and stuff like that.

Make him a chat bot??? That's an idea...

Hmmm.... maybe. I... huh. I can't use ai unfortunately to do a chat bot, because that costs money for me to use a ChatGPT API, but I could maybe make him have pregenerated responses and get keywords from your text??? Maybe???

I can't really make it an app since it's coded in Python. :(

Hey, guys! I think it'd be a great idea for me to re-code Clippy, in more readable code!

I could make one file for the Clippy, with the ability to say stuff, and ask you things, and able to animate, and another to do all the processing! :)

not working for me ;n; (super unexperienced with this kinda thing)


Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "clippy_desktop.py", line 43, in <module>

  File "clippy_desktop.py", line 38, in read_json

    def read_json(file_path):

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/configure/config.json'

Oof, uh...

OK, so: it probably is returning an error because I didn't add "./" before the path. Try Ctrl+F (finding) this: "path =", then adding "./" before the path variable.

Also, I forgot to change this: go into ./data/configure/config.json, and change the transparent_background (first option) to true. If it's false, Clippy will have a black background.

I ACCIDENTLLY OPENED 3 CLIPIES HOW DO I KILL THE OTHER 2 

Oh, OK... uh...

Click on each Clippy you want to kill and press "Alt+F4" (Windows) OR "Command+Q" (Mac).

Hey, you know what? I'm going to make a button that will close Clippy in the triple-click menu right now! :)

I'll have to re-export, though... It'll be fine. :)

All right! I just have to export it again...

BLESS YOUR SOUL thank you for the help and even making a button ToT <3

Sure! :)

Uh... I forgot the command to export...

I can export the source code again, but the windows export will have to wait a day or 2.

Hi, guys!

I haven't gotten started on the new animations for Clippy yet; sorry about that!

If you want to do it, then just replace the .gif files in the data folder, I think, with different animations. Make sure they have a black background, though!!

Thanks for commenting on my project here! :)

School has also started back up, so... I don't have much time for working on Clippy projects. :(

Have a good day guys! :)

No problem mate. Have a nice year 😎

Uh huh! You too!

This is what we need. Good job 👍

Thanks!

please reply to test if itch.io comments works on switch

yep, it worked

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! :)

(1 edit)

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!
