Make Your Own Animated Desktop Buddy — Beginner Kit

Give your screen a little company.

Meet Pip the robot and Sprout the plant: two animated browser buddies you can personalize and make your own. Wave, stretch, hop, dance, look around, or ask for a little cheer. Click your buddy for a pat, change its colors and expression, or use the included guide to create a new character.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• 12-page illustrated beginner guide, supplied as a separate PDF and inside the ZIP.

• Working browser app with Pip and Sprout, six animated reactions, idle movement, and click-to-pat.

• Editable HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SVG artwork, with separate character, animation, and behavior layers.

• Ten copyable Codex customization prompts, a character-planning worksheet, add-a-buddy instructions, and a review checklist.

• Optional focus timer, compact view, Still mode, and settings export/import.

• Four-character concept sheet for inspiration. Pip and Sprout are the two working characters included; Pixel Pal and Orbit are concepts only.

GET STARTED

Extract the complete ZIP, then open buddy/index.html in a current desktop browser with JavaScript enabled. The supplied app runs locally without a package installation, API key, or ongoing AI subscription. Codex access and internet are needed only for the optional editing lessons; any account costs and usage limits are separate.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a digital guide and editable starter app. No hardware or physical item is included. The companion uses scripted reactions inside a browser window; it is not an AI chatbot, voice assistant, or native always-on-top desktop app. The optional timer shows an on-screen completion message, with no sound or system notification. Browser storage can vary; settings backup is included. Use one tab for the timer.

For personal use and customization. No resale rights; see the included license.
