A downloadable project for Windows

My Little Buddy - Harry Heck  This is all in the README also

Hello and thank you for testing this!  I am a self taught developer and this is the first time that I've released a program for testing.  I'm sure it won't be perfect so please bear with me.

This isn't really meant to be a "game".  It's supposed to be more like a Tamagotchi or similar.  It's a little buddy that will keep you company on your desktop.  Just like a real hedgehog, it will get hungry, it will poop after you give it treats, (worms) and if you click on it too much it will get scared.

This is just a test and I'm sure I will add more features, but I don't want it to be too complicated.  Please suggest anything you think it should have, but because there's only a few animations of the hedgehog, I'm limited in what I can do.  Just keep that in mind.

Right now the hedgehog sleeps for 10 seconds, wake up for 3 seconds, idle for 5 seconds, walks for 10 seconds, idle, about to sleep, sleep.  These intervals are just for testing and they will be longer.  If you click it while it's sleeping it will get scared, and then go back to sleep.  If you click it while walking, it will stop.  If you click it twice within 5 seconds, will get scared.  It will be scared for 10 seconds.  It has a routine, and if you stop its routine, it will go back to what it was doing.

Click on the grass to give it a treat.  You can only give it one treat at a time.  After the hedgehog eats 3 treats, it will poop.  Click on the poop to remove it.  You cannot give it another treat until the poop is gone.  When it hasn't had a treat in 3 minutes, it will get hungry, you'll know when you see it.  Again, the current intervals are just for testing.

That is the way things are supposed to work.  If anything strange occurs, please let me know, and I apologize if this doesn't even run on your computer.  At the moment it only works on Windows 64 bit.  I might expand compatibility in the future.  Let me know what you think!  THANK YOU!!!
