What is DPET : Desktop Pet Engine?

DPET (Desktop Pet Engine) is an open-source application that enables users to have virtual pets living on their computer desktop. It includes a full-featured engine for creating and customizing different aspects of digital pets.

With DPET, users can design their own pet's appearance, personality, behaviors, reactions, mini-games, and more. They can choose to start from scratch or modify existing pets made by others in the DPET community. Popular pets in the past have included dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and fantasy creatures.

Some key features and customizations of DPET include:

• Appearance - Customize colors, textures, accessories, poses, animations, and more for the pet's look
• Behavior - Program responses, autonomous behaviors, needs, emotions, learning, and sound effects
• Interactions - Create how the pet will interact with mouse clicks, keyboard presses, other apps, widgets, notifications, and schedules
• Mini-games - Design basic arcade-style games to play with the pets
• Rooms - Customize different rooms and environments for the pets to inhabit and explore

DPET focuses on providing a friendly, lightweight toolset for the virtual pet hobby. It promotes an open ecosystem for sharing user-generated content. The project is published under an open-source MIT license for anyone to freely use and contribute to.
