I have an idea for something for Messenger Plus.

It's a dynamic dp that has a picture of a cartoon baby or animal on it and it gets hungry and needs the toilet over time so you press the arrow and choose either toilet or feed and then that need will be put right up. It only runs when you're on msn and can die but you can reset it.

Do you think it's a good idea?

lol i actually like that idea although it may become annoying but then you just turn it off right?

It would take alot of programming though because you'd have to be able to interact with it randomly so maybe ugh

in the mean time check out http://www.neopets.com

You can't as for you cannot make your own dynamic display pictures. Why? Timothy explains why you cannot make your own dynamic ddps, winks, moods, ect ect.

S/he didnt want to create her own though, she wanted a pet type scenerio and I dont think it would have to be a DDP anyways, just some way of using it, maybe just a plugin

I dunno about that i geuss it would annoy me having to feed it and make it poo every couple of minutes!

oh god, not an MSN version of the tamagotchi

Basically, it is.

And I'm a boy btw.

I know it would be hard and stuff but it could be possible.

Or mabye a contact that is actually a program that does stuff like that or something (not sure how that would work).

You could hack it so that the dp thing accepts different types of files. You could then make some animation file or something like a gif work.

Because then you could use the animation in a different file type.

There is no point to that.

Let me explain:

If you could allow a file type that you could put the baby or pets in then that would make this work.

No. It won't work. Why do you need it in MSN Messenger? Use it outside of Messenger in its own program.

Just an add on sort of thing I suppose.

I'll think of another idea then.

Currently something like MSN Messenger Pets doesn't exist as said in this thread (it is also almost impossible to make something like that as suggested here)...

However!

Currently there is something called Eccky aka "create your own virtual baby on msn". This was launched on the 26th of October.

With Eccky, you create your own "MSN Baby" between you and a contact. Parents can chat (also via SMS) with their Eccky, play games, feed, wash, shop, and everything else that comes with raising a child in real life. Thus the whole idea behind it are the infamous Tamagotchi games...

Though, since this is kind of a game, it has also an end. This will be after 6 days when Eccky will celebrate its 18th birthday. After having gone through three life stages, baby, toddler and teen, Eccky will leave its parents home...

All interaction is done either through the MSN Messenger chat interface, the MSN Messenger game window or by using a mobile phone.

The Eccky Game is currently (as far as I know) only available in Holland. It is also not free, one of the parents must pay €1.5 thru SMS before Eccky is born. But, from that point on you both will recieve child benefit (or children's allowance), this means you will recieve money back to buy cloths and other stuff you can use for your baby...

Thus, for all who speak dutch, go to http://nl.eccky.com/eccky_nl/home
and check it out

For an explanation of what you can do and all see:
Official Dutch explanation: http://nl.eccky.com/eccky_nl/Hoe+werkt+Eccky/.
Short English explanation: http://www.eccky.com/weblog/2004/08/wtf-is-eccky.html.

Thus, also see http://www.eccky.com/weblog/ (includes some English texts also)...


EDIT: fixed mybb tag error

And it took quite long to get public...

I remember posting about this last year.

why not ust create an addon then

How about heres and idea, i dosent use a DP but something thats possible:
Ok we could make a bot that requires a sign in name and password and then user would log in and the bot would create the pet (if frist time use) or continue with the pet if created. Then you could keep typing a message in to see how the pet was doing or the bot could tell you when something happens. With pictures of course. What do you guys think?

lamo! thats great hahaha! i want one now is it only for dutch? or is there a version for english?
