About The Project

A small pixel art capybara that scurries around the bottom of your screen! It isnt interactive and does not block mouse clicks. It is made with C++, Objective-C, and uses OpenGL, GLFW, GLM, and STB.

Note: This application is compatible with macOS only.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have cmake and make installed on your machine.

Installation

Building from Source

To build the application from source:

git clone https://github.com/Maxwell-SS/Capybara-Desktop-Pet.git
cd Capybara-Desktop-Pet
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
./Capybara

To build a .app bundle use:

cmake .. -DBUILD_BUNDLE=ON

This generates a bundle folder containing the .app.

Downloading the DMG

1. Navigate to releases.
2. Download the latest DMG file.
3. Open the DMG and drag the application to your Applications folder.

Resolving macOS Security Restrictions

If you encounter a security error stating the application is damaged: Open a terminal and run these three commands.

sudo spctl --master-disable
xattr -cr /Applications/Capybara.app
sudo spctl --master-enable

Usage

Upon running the application, a widget will appear in the top right of your screen. This widget allows you to quit the capybara or toggle its visibility across all desktops.
