This looks pretty cute, but I think I'd want to have some (four?) images of each pet in various states of health (from bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to pushing up daisies).

That would be rather cool indeed.

Regards,

I plan on developing this MUCH futher. Including states of health. I think I'll actually go ahead and list some planned things for the future in the first post. Yipee.

Question :)

What about someone like me who has other animals that I want to add?

I'm trying to figure it out, but for the life of me, I can't seem to. It could be the 2 hours of sleep in 72 hours, or it's just not there.

cool :P

Some Ideas for you

1. Click on someone else's pet to give it some TLC or energy when it gets low. Kind of like pet sitting. If no one likes you, they could let your pet croak while you were on vacation. Your pet could get sick and people could virtually pet it to nurture it back to health.

2. When you are online your pet could be animated, and when you're logged off it could be asleep. Pet animations could be done in FLASH.

3. Pet development kit (PDK) could be provided to let webmasters create forum-specific pets and behaviors.

4. If you misbehave on the forum, your pet could be incarcerated or sent to animal control.

5. Your pet could get loose sometime and visit someone else who doesn't have a pet. It might come back, or it might not, depending on how they treat it.

6. Your pet could be petnapped by someone if they give it more attention than you do

7. Your pet could do stupid pet tricks

8. Your pet could be malicious and bite people who try to pet it

9. Your pet could be a chamaeleon, and its color would always match the table cell background color, so people would have a hard time seeing it.

10. Your pets, like huge sig files, could really irritate people and stop them from visiting your forum, so you might have a user switch to turn off pet display in case someone is allergic to vbpets.
