A Little Buddy
Does anyone remember that little sheep desktop buddy? You'd start it up and this little sheep would drop onto your desktop. It'd walk on whatever windows you had open and run around and make little noises. I used to open it a couple of times and let the sheep run into each other and climb on each other. It was great.
The other day during lunch I was bored and was thinking about the little sheep. I decided to make something similar. But instead of mundane sheep I picked something cool. What did I pick you ask? The answer should be obvious. Megaman!
Enjoy!

P.S. He's not too smart yet. I already have a list of improvements to make. But if anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
P.P.S. .NET Framework 2.0 or higher required.
P.P.P.S. Mono 2.0 has been released! Rejoice Mac and Linux using friends!
P.P.P.P.S. Sorry. This is getting a little ridiculous, I know. Left click and drag to move Megaman around. Right click on Megaman to get a menu to close him. That's assuming you can catch him of course. What, did you expect him to be easy to catch? This is Megaman we're talking about!

Sweet! This is so cool. Thanks for a fun distraction. It would be neat to see the source code too.

The code isn't very exciting yet (it's only a lunch break's worth of code so far), but if you'd like a copy just let me know. I sent you an email about it (but I figured I'd wait to see if that's really your email address before sending the code). Just let me know.

Haha! This little guy rocks. Great idea, d00d! You should give him a few of the color schemes he aquires from bosses. OR some of the armors. Perhaps, he could shoot and wallkick up the sides of the screen. Maybe, give the ability to turn him into the original megaman using Megaman 8 sprites. I'm pretty sure these things were on your list.

I'm glad you like him! I turn him on at work sometimes when my office gets lonely.
I like your ideas. I thought I put a list of planned improvements in my post, but I guess not. I guess I was a little too tired when I was posting. Anyway, some of my planned enhancements are in your list, but not all. My list is
I really like the armor idea and changing him into 8-bit Megaman. Brilliant!

I'm thinking perhaps you could have the classic purple drones come from off screen and a battle happens. Also it would be cool to see Dr. Lights upgrade capsule "emerge" from the task bar and megaman gets a upgrade via the capsule. Perhaps a few boss fights so X can get a few new weapons.

Had an awesome idea to make X able to access higher places in the screen, remember the blocks that appear then vanish? The could be used to allow X some more space to play in, and they'll vanish so they won't get in the way.

I can't seem to get this little guy outta my head, if at all possible could I get the source for this?

Sure thing. I sent you an email with the source code attached. Let me know if you didn't get it.
