One giant hack for an xeyes variant.

xgopher's Issues

Draw vector graphics

There isn't a single library to render SVG (XML) into a draw.Image. sqweek/go-image.svg can parse SVG paths to an extent and generate limited images though...

Use matrices to do transformations

Get rid of most transform/translate functions, lines and lines of unmaintainable code and hacks.

Follow mouse even when not focused

go-vgo/robotgo can read mouse position even when the app is not in focus. I'm not sure if we should we use it or find some other (preferably smaller) library, or make our own bindings...

Improve eye coordination

Eyes are positioned at their limits most of the time. Find a way to smooth them.

• Maybe try a hemisphere projection algorithm, on top of the surface/screen, extending towards the viewer and position the eyes so they look along the radius of the sphere towards the point on the surface (where the mouse pointer is also 2d-projected, assuming a constant Z)
• Other suggestions? It would be nice to be able to simulate the behavior before coding.
