For my final project, I would like to create a virtual pet game. One of my fondest memories growing up was taking care of virtual pets such as Nintendogs, Neopets, or Tamagotchi. I’m not completely sure which animal I would like to feature as of yet, but I am currently leaning towards making a cat.

         Using mouse interaction and commands, the pet owner can feed the cat, play music to the cat, put the cat to sleep, or play with the cat. This will lead to the cat experiencing an increase in energy or happiness levels, and give feedback to the pet owner on how well they are taking care of their pet. I am also thinking of making the animal move in some way that relates to the mouse. For example, have the eyes follow the mouse and have the cat react when the mouse clicks on the cat. When the owner wants the pet to eat, play, sleep, or listen to music, the cat will move in a way that shows that it is following these commands.
