clippy.modern

Status 2024-04-20 -- Work in progress

Please note that this project is still incomplete. The code has been modernized, but there are missing features, and bugs.

Clippy.modern

Add Clippy or his friends to any website for instant nostalgia.

This is a modernized version of Clippy.js.

Usage: Setup

Add this code to you to your page to enable Clippy.js.

<!-- Add the stylesheet to the head -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clippy.css" media="all" />

<!-- Clippy.js -->
<script src="clippy.js" type="module"></script>

<!-- Init script -->
<script type="module">
  import { load } from './clippy.js';

  const agent = await load('Clippy');
  await agent.show();
  await agent.speak('Hello. It looks like you\'re attempting to train a Large Language Model. Would you like some help with that?');
</script>

Usage: Actions

All the agent actions are queued and executed by order, so you could stack them.

// play a given animation
agent.play("Searching");

// play a random animation
agent.animate();

// get a list of all the animations
agent.animations();
// => ["MoveLeft", "Congratulate", "Hide", "Pleased", "Acknowledge", ...]

// Show text balloon
agent.speak(
  "When all else fails, bind some paper together. My name is Clippy."
);

// move to the given point, use animation if available
agent.moveTo(100, 100);

// gesture at a given point (if gesture animation is available)
agent.gestureAt(200, 200);

// stop the current action in the queue
agent.stopCurrent();

// stop all actions in the queue and go back to idle mode
agent.stop();
