Wish it was possible to get this on Wayland, but the APIs aren’t there yet…

node815@lemmy.world on 25 Sep 2023 21:27 collapse

I use Arch with Wayland and it worked… Sort of…the idle animation was a bit busy as in it looked a lot like the frames between each animation weren’t erasing, but the mouse chase worked quite well.

It works (somewhat) while your cursor is hovering over XWayland windows but once you move over something native it will keep chasing to the last spot.

Hey, it’s also natively available in Termux!

I was there 3000 years ago.

there’s also a multiplatform implementation in Go

I was thinking “this reminds me of stuff we messed around with in the 1990s”, then I realized it’s the same stuff:

I named my cat Neko as a teen because of this program!

entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org on 23 Oct 2023 04:44 collapse

You named your cat “cat”, in Japanese

themadcodger@kbin.social on 24 Oct 2023 00:27 collapse

That was the idea!

caseyweederman@lemmy.ca on 26 Sep 2023 16:28 collapse

It clicked for me when the cat sat down

NemoWuMing@lemmy.world on 25 Sep 2023 19:21 next collapse

Is there something like that for iOS and for Windows too?

Aatube@kbin.social on 25 Sep 2023 19:46 next collapse

for iOS, maybe Pixel Pals?

mihnt@kbin.social on 25 Sep 2023 19:58 next collapse

I know there's the goose one for windows.

BaldProphet@kbin.social on 25 Sep 2023 20:19 collapse

This is what I thought of when I saw oneko.

WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 25 Sep 2023 21:10 next collapse

I’m definitely curious if it would work if you SSH’d to a Linux machine from iOS. cmatrix works perfectly, but this seems like it has more opportunity for error since it seems to follow your mouse, which wouldn’t be connected on most phones.

floofloof@lemmy.ca on 26 Sep 2023 04:15 collapse

There are various versions, some old. Search for “neko for windows”.

DJalexTheGameDev@lemmy.world on 25 Sep 2023 20:47 next collapse

For Android there is aneko and aneko plus.

A demo video that’s 50% package installation output, 50% early-2000s mouse cursor changer. And I watched every second of it

Thanks!!

Now I don’t want to move my cursor

SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 26 Sep 2023 02:55 next collapse

I really hope this gets ported to Wayland someday, I’d love to have a little neko in my computer!
