[vb6] Virtual Pet Roach v1.2 (Updated 08/06/20)

[shagratt]

Since I saw the famouse "sheep.exe" I wanted to create something like a virtual pet... finally 2 decades later I found the time to do it.
This is a cockroach that roam the screen. It run outside the screen when touched with the cursor and if computer is left idle for certain time, start spawning more cockroachs until certain limit.
Animation of every limb and movement is made with detail and looks very realistic.

Also this code can be usefull te see how to interact with the mouse, how to calculate angles, idle detection , creating a systray and draw 8 bits transparency forms (32bpp)

Running wild over desktop windows


Debug movement screen enabled

PD: Also got a cool about screen effect.

Spectacular! Congratulations! Very realistic! It makes you nervous, it makes you want to hit the monitor, and kill the bug! Thank you very much for the contribution! Who has time and courage to achieve a challenge? What if you could recognize the edges of the windows, and from time to time walk a straight stretch along them, just as real people do along the edge of a table or window? What if they built the nest in some rich area? What if they brought food to the nest, like a letter, syllable, or word found there? Sorry for the imagination. Congratulations again!
