TickTock--Virtual Pet

Inspiration

My inspiration to build a game that live in my desktop(It is ubiquitous!!!). I really like to raise a pet, but my parents really don't want to, so I had to build a game that simulates a pet experience.

What it does

Running jar file will cause a creature named 'Tick Tock' to live on your desktop. For now, it will just move, but you can pet him by touching him.

How I built it

From my knowledge from Java, I built this from the scratch. Images were already made for the other use.

Challenges I ran into

Figuring out how mouse works in Java was the most challenging. There were too many consideration on mouse not working.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The fact that I built semi-complete game is very proud, and I like this creature.

What I learned

Java is, of course, a tough language; however, Java is very useful for this kind of coding that utilizes a lot of objects and never care for memory due to Garbage collection.

What's next for TickTock--Virtual Pet

Later, I want to increase the number of creature and adding more buttons that interact with Tick Tock.
