That was my first thought, the theme song came rushing right back. I found it on YouTube https://youtu.be/uZDG4dlU5uY but I think my PCjr was slower than the machine that recorded this because the song was much more sparse back when I played the game.
Aww, firefox makes the page scroll with arrow keys :( I'm not sure if I would override that though, maybe have alternate controls like "wasd" or something similar.
P.S. I looked at the code for the cat and I really like it. Nice and simple.
I was amused when it dropped from the top and I played around resizing the window to make it fall. Casually dropping "use arrow keys to move cat!" under hobby programming was a lovely way of revealing that and rewarding the reader.
Thanks! I've never heard of esheep, but have been inspired by some desktop hacks over the years. (Remember that roach program for windows?) The cat animation was lifted from an old DOS game called Alleycat that I loved.
Wasn't aware of the roach program or Alleycat so thanks for the pointers. I can see why you were keen to liberate the cat now I've seen it :)
My esheep query seems to have been taken extremely negatively. Rereading it a day later, it does seem to be dripping with snark, though that really wasn't how it was intended. I remember eSheep fondly as a kid, so it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the cat - along with more fondness for someone who'd brought similar to the web. I think some of my early forays into programming were directly attributable to me trying to surreptitiously inflict it on friends and family.
Cool resume, you know what's weird? I saw this post earlier while working and tonight I was randomly looking at an old DOS game compilation video on Youtube. One of the clips was of a pink and blue cat game called Alleycat that I decided to find a longer video of because I liked the style. I came back here because I swore I just saw that cat earlier today and now saw your comment further down to confirm. I've never heard of the game or seen your resume until today, fun coincidence, or my unconscious mind noticed the cat.
