It is meant to be a kind of desktop engine that is based on certain animals that leave in colonies, like the bees, ant and spiders. Although yeah could take a while but it’s worth the strive. I intend to avoid the use of AI in here as much as I can but since it could be inevitable it would be in minimal.

This project uses AI

None used yet but would be updated subsequently

Stop 1 - Pink box
So a tiny bit of the Wallpaper engine is completed, the main goal was to get a window to be there without the regular things on the window. I got pygame installed and then set up a full-screen display then also made the script auto detect the screen resolution, so it covers the entire monitor regardless of what’s being done, this part works kinda well as when I run the script it takes over the entire screen with the pink box that says “the hive”
I also started using win32gui library to handle the desktop integration. I fixed a part of the error but I haven’t written the logic to find the desktop wallpaper layer.
Visually, it is kind of okay but it sits and covers the entire taskbar and icons instead of behind them, but the render loop still keeps it at 30fps to avoid crash of my potato.
