i cant wait to use this program, oh and chris it would seam that you just got shot in the head

Wonder why lol.

it displayed during your game! HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Glad I am able to bring a bit of humor into other's lives.

Gotta just get through this next week, so I can get back to conjurin' up some of these thingies...


Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

xanth should make a mod, where you can shoot squirrels out of guns

Can you make it so the squirrel swings at about half screen?
I loaded it on Mom's computer, she's got Parkinson's Disease, and only runs at 1/3 normal speed anyway.
She occasionaly locks up / falls asleep at the keyboard.
She doesn't know whats going on, but I can see were it helps her re-focus.
At 800 x 600 resolution the squirrel is mostly under her screen, all you see is the rope.
Can you get the squirrel to run at about 1/2 the present screen height, so she gets the joke?

Turning white on top, like owner.
Leaks a little, like owner.
Doesn't smoke....... OK, we're trying to quit.

um... perhaps there is something else I could create for her to use/interact with?
(I made a text-to speech thingie a few years back for a pffer whose relative couldn't speak any longer - it had some clickable phrases like "yes, no, thank you, etc... as well as the basic "speak what you typed" feature )

Is there something she struggles with in particular that I might be able to assist with? (Lets take this to PM so we don't destroy a perfectly good pointless thread, and you can send me naughty pictures of your local waterfowl)

I don't have much time, but I'll do what I can.

PM sent, Duck pron may be dependant on your responce, and the expressed approval of Wady.
Ya don't want someone finding that on your HD.
How about some 'R' rated Penguin flicks?

Went to the link, clicked 'save'. It saved it to the last folder I put something in. It hasn't done anything onscreen.

Is there something to manually install?--does it have to be in a certain folder?

[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 06-09-2008).]

When you save it, just double click on it.

It will run, just be patient.

I slipped it into a client's "Startup" folder.... LOL

I did dbl click it. I see Frame1 in the task list, but have never seen any sign of the rodent.

edit-now it's working but as noted in another reply, 800x600 just shows a swinging rope and a wheeee!!

[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 06-10-2008).]

Running 800 x 600 resolution is soooo 1993. Get with the times, and get a bigger screen, people

Thanks for the program, Rumor. I can already think of a few people's PC's that this will go on.

[This message has been edited by Deabionni (edited 06-10-2008).]

I have no squirrel I waited and waited It keeps showing the hour glass by the mouse but nothing happens?

checked Task manager and it doesn't show anything there either?

[This message has been edited by FieroAurora (edited 06-10-2008).]

^^^ Copy the weeee.exe, and drop it into her startup folder. Then she'll get it on her login, every time she logs into her session.

I put this on my wife's PC. It made her jump the first time but now she just giggles every time a squirrel comes by.

Thanks Rumor! Now where are those DIY VR Goggles?

(edit, I was going to give you a + put you already had one from me!)

[This message has been edited by OKflyboy (edited 06-10-2008).]

Nice, how about a linux / ubuntu version?

quote Originally posted by Deabionni: Running 800 x 600 resolution is soooo 1993. Get with the times, and get a bigger screen, people

For my Mom, 1993 is still new-fangled, she's pushing 80. She still needs a Que-Card to record something on her VCR.
800 x 600 is about all her eyes can handle.

quote Originally posted by s550w: Nice, how about a linux / ubuntu version?

I could make a java version, would that suffice?

I'll work on it again on Thursday.

My dad has switched all of his computers to ubuntu. I suspect a java program would run. I don't happen to be up to date anymore and just starting to use ubuntu myself.

Anything yet on a 600 x 800 screen version?

My 2 1/2 old daughter LOVES the Squirrel, she hears the WEEEE from the other room and comes running!

btw I hit reply to this thread and just then the squirrel crossed the screen
if possible, could you make other pics of squirrels randomly pop up insted of the same one?

Thank you

I may hafta do that anyway, I'm having trouble tracking down the source code for it!

That first one was a 'quickie app" anyway...

I'll work on it mid-week.


edit: woa, I just clicked on that link up at the top... I made this in 2004?!?!?!?!?

[This message has been edited by FieroRumor (edited 06-16-2008).]

Anything new?

WORK. Lots and lots and lots of WORK.

I DID manage to install it on a few machines though. Made the day a bit more fun.
*sighs*

I need a life-sized replica of myself.

Rumor, have you considered using a .png file so the squirrel maintains a realistic look and has no fuzzy pixelated edges of the wrong colour?
It just so happens I created a squirrel that has slightly transparent edges so it works on anyones desktop.

Thanks for the updated squirrel...new version in a week or so... should be able to work onna Mac...

Just a quickie test (before my shift o' doom begins):



Looks like it'll work just fine...

[This message has been edited by FieroRumor (edited 06-25-2008).]

Didnt work on mine

I click it and it goes busy for a sec then nothing.

Heh, halfway done with the new one. This one will randomly come from either side of the screen...

quote Originally posted by FieroRumor: Heh, halfway done with the new one. This one will randomly come from either side of the screen...

Nice.

You should have it where the rope is centered at the top of the screen, and the squirrel comes swinging across in an arc with the Tarzan noise. It will alternate between all three randomly.

I considered that, but it didn't work on split-screens...

quote Originally posted by FieroRumor: I considered that, but it didn't work on split-screens...

Apparently, it doesn't work so well on 800x600 screens either, so what's the difference?

I think a swinging squirl would be cool!

quote Originally posted by DtheC: Anything new?

I found a 'wheeee-related' thread on another forum where someone mentioned that it would be cool to be able to control the squirrel remotely, from another computer...

I found that to be a BRILLIANT idea.

Soooo....


I conjured THIS up during my lunch hour:

Heh, works PERFECTLY

I'll just clean it up a bit and release it by the end of the week, with the new version of 'Wheee"...


Oh, remote mischief. How absolutely yummy!
