Ready to work on GitHub? After a lot of work and make it really open source, the last step was move also the webpage on GitHub. With the last version (2.1 UWP or 1.2.1 for Desktop) you are able to download new mates directly from GitHub and not anymore from this webpage. This means, that everyone can create a mate and upload it to GitHub without giving any information to this webserver. In future,…
Edit and test your pets offline The online editor was a nice project but everything is hosted and managed on the server. Since this is an open source project I want to move everything to GitHub. I am writing a nice editor with a lot of features like adding sounds, xml validation and pet emulator. You can download the beta version 0.3 from GitHub or check for a new version. If something doesn`t…
I found a solution for my certificate, publish it as UWP This application was wrote as .NET application and my big problem was the certificate (30$ each year for a in-utility was too much).

If you have Windows 10 (at least with the 1803 update), you will be able to install this app again with all the auto update…
wrong released pets I begun to remove some pets from the released one. Once you wrote your animation in the editor, you can publish them as beta. In this way you can see your pets inside the app. Do not publish them as release if you are still testing it! Since I want to have it as community application, it would be nice to have working pets, and not unfinished pets. I will remove the pets from…
New project on GitHub As always more people want the web-version, I updated the script and uploaded it to GitHub: https://github.com/Adrianotiger/web-esheep You have to write "var s = new eSheep()" and "s.Start()" now.

Added a converter for animation writers Robin wrote a converter to show graphically the animation steps graphically. See https://github.com/Adrianotiger/desktopPet/issues/6 . Click on the image to open it in a new window: It will be implemented in the next release.

A simple tutorial to explain how to add this sheep to your webpage Once you have an open source project and everything is saved in a xml, it is easy to port it to other platforms. So I begun to wrote a simple script to animate the sheep also on the webpages (see Microsoft Edge Extension ).
