Desktop Poring

Intro
================
"Yet another totally useless but nevertheless cute desktop toy."

This desktop toy is a poring that follows the mouse around the screen, bouncing
away and making its cute little noise when it moves.

Remember, Level-Up-Games and Gravity, I do this all for free, for all the fans.
So, please don't sue me.

How to:
=================
- Unzip the files into one folder.
- Run it
- Dekstop Poring will run Always On Top
- You must have VB6 runtimes and DirectX7 installed (For XP users, this is no problem)
  (DirectX7 is packaged with DX8 and 9)
- Right clicking the Poring allows you to enable/disable the sound and also
  kill the cute thing (awwwww...)
- Double-clicking the Poring will kill it (awwwwwwwwwww....)
- Click-dragging the Poring allows you to deposit it anywhere on the screen
- Win2000/XP users will see the Poring fade in and out upon birth and death, 
  just like in Ragnarok. Win98 users will have to be content with sudden death.


To Add:
==================
- Emoticons?
- Attack animations?
- Poporing sprites?
- Munak sprites?
- Baphomet sprites?
- Backpack option?
- Pet options?
- Clean up sound code

WIP
==================
5/17/04
------------------
- Fixed up animation code so that it'd be easy for me to make Munak and other
  desktop toys

5/16/04
------------------
- Fixed a lot of stuff, animations etc.
- Got eveything working. Switched to DirectX sound buffers instead of Windows
  to get smoother sound, and to allow positional sound.
- Sound balance (left or right) depends on where the Poring is on the screen.


5/15/04
------------------
- Started work on animated forms, to see if the all new fast transparent region
  code used on the Kafra could be used to create an animated form ala Office Assistant.
