Desktop Ponies - Now in Javascript Flavor


The Desktop Ponies app we all know and love has been recoded in Javascript. For those unfamiliar with what this means, it means that the app in its entirety is now embeddable in a website. As an example, I've taken the Javascript code from the creator and pasted it after the page break- if you click past it, you'll be covered in ponies, so, you've been warned.

The main website for the app can be found here, and the code for the Javascript port, as well as additional information and settings, can be found here.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PONIES ON MY SCREEN!

Canvas Wolf Doll said...

oh, these ponies are such fun!

pcdude2143 said...

As a quasi-web designer, I would strongly disapprove. However, this is PONIES.

PureZOOKS said...

You should have posted more!

Rekiara said...

My phone's body was not ready, lol.

rainbowbrony said...

just one of each? come ON! there needs to be at least a dozen of each, and at least 6 more pinkie pies than anypony else, just because thats the way she is

eaglehooves said...

A way to put even more ponies into my internet... This can't end well for my productivity, but I approve anyways. Now get out of my way Pinkie so I can see what I typed!!!

Zephyr said...

That's it, shut the blog down Seth. It's reached perfection.

Why would we need any more pages now?

Hax Mega said...

Needs more pony's imo, but some peoples computer couldn't run too many more ponys without slowdown. 3:

crazyredemu said...

My desktop needs to be 20% cooler apparently...

Jay6 said...

Oh my... they can even invade websites now. I don't know whether I should consider this a good thing or a bad thing.

Flutterguy said...

HOLY CRAP THIS WORKS ON MY IPOD TOUCH

pcdude2143 said...

Do they interact with each other? I set NMM next to Celestia and C said "I know you're in there somewhere."

Fritz X said...

*rubs his eyes*

...

*puts the bottle away*

CynicalMuse said...

Yes... YES... YESS!!!!

Spazturtle said...

This is why I have a high ppi monitor, so i can look at 8 bit ponies in HD.

Apollo Breeze said...

Ponies, y u no load for me!? D:

GaruuSpike said...

OH NO, PONIES EVERYWHERE


HOLLLYY SHIT

This should be put on every website. Like, totall- DAMMIT RAINBOW DASH GET OFF MY TEXT BOX

awesometown said...

rarity doesn't have any special animations!?

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

Oh man this is so awesome. I'm not sure if I can ever close this window.

awesometown said...

never mind just saw the butterfly wings

2pikachuno said...

HA HA!!! THEIR CUTE!!!

Apollo Breeze said...

I got it to work, and i'm not sure whether my brain just orgasmed, or i exploded. From now on, i'm using these when i watch the videos!

Azarias said...

:D
:D
:D

SO AWESOME! /)^.^(\

M1Abrams said...

OH MY GOD! This is the best thing to EVER happen to my computer! I'm gonna just leave them there! FOREVER!

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

FLUTTERSHY'S SLEEPING YOU GUYS!

quicksilver said...

rarity chillin on my taskbar while rainbow dash does a sonic rainboom through the header? SO AWESOME.

M1Abrams said...

OH GOD! Now Rainbow Dash just did a Sonic Rainboom on my computer! And then quickly fell asleep on a cloud! My computer cannot handle the epic!

HeroInferno said...

Pinkie, Pin- Pinkie, stop bouncing on my name.
Hey, Rainbow Dash, no rainbooms allowed inside.
Erm... Fluttershy, if you don't mind can you move, I can't see what I'm typing, thank you.
Yes Twilight, I am looking up MCM at the moment.

Why do I enjoy talking to these desktop ponies so much?

animemetalhead said...

My iPod does not like the Sonic Rainboom, apparently.

TenchiFreak5 said...

@pcdude2143

Oh man, this. I want to rage so much, and yet I can't.

TheSweetestBelle said...

Any time you see a loading bar stating that it is loading Ponies, you know it can't be a bad thing!

Dusty said...

Pinkie Pie Polka, while Dash and Fluttershy sleep side by side? Applejack's throwing apples everywhere and Twilight's teleporting.

BEST DAY EVER.

Cyber.Kuriboh said...

The lack of Trixie is annoying. GachDx Fluttershy is taking a nap on my text box

C.Olimar788 said...

Oh man this is WAY too great. XD

Scout said...

Cereal should get Seth to put a Desktop Ponies button on the site. That way we can have ponies running all over EqD whenever we want.

Fritz X said...

@Scout

I wholeheartedly second your suggestion.

ElectricZoNe said...

Ponies running around a 27" monitor is too awesome and I cant stop laughing at the comments on this post lol!

Bobbyzero said...

This looks so awesome on my Droid, this really needs to be an android live wallpaper.

Tyranoman said...

Oh this is kinda awesome, wait? did rainbow just do a sonic rainboom...?
K this is the bestest thing ever in the existence of everything.

Na´ash said...

Like stated before me, EquestriaDaily has now reached perfection.

banannagram said...

K... I think this has made my week.

Watch out, Season 2, you've got competition.

HippogryphHam said...

What did the brony say about the ponies on his screen?
There are over 9000!!!!!!!!

Appleyouk said...

@pcdude2143

I know that they can follow each other at least. Spike and Sweetie follows Rarity, Bonbon follows Lyra and Scootaloo follows Dash. I can only assume they can interact in other ways as well.

Octavia said...

Yay, ponies have infiltrated EqD! Well, even more-so than they already have. :P

Pinkamena Diane Pie said...

I can't stop watching ,,,,
Why am I stalking Dashie? Everywhere Dashie goes, I follow...

Fooby said...

Aw man, it's hard to ship these Browser ponies.

SingForTheMoon said...

I was having a gloomy day until THIS! Thank you :D


-Moonlight Ballad, Bard of Equestria

Pony Corp - Ren said...

Well, there is a file named "interactions" in the downloadable version, so that might be it.

Mr Nutt said...

@pcdude2143 Well, sometimes when I have all of the Mane 6 and Celestia out they start singing the theme... over and over again.

Pony Corp - Ren said...

HOLY CRAP FLUTTERSHY JUST GAVE TWI THE STARE.

Is it wrong that this is the best thing that's happened to me today, or, for that matter, the entire week so far?

3482f48c-e3d9-11e0-a43e-000f20980440 said...

I can no longer see my blankberry's screen due to an overabundance of ponies. :D

Cal said...

Dashie and Fluttershy take a nap, AJ is bucking, Twilight's studying, Rarity is prancing around, and Pinkie Pie is.........well, being Pinkie Pie. Desktop Ponies were cool, but now this just got........And that's how Equestria was made! Damn it AJ, MOVE SO I CAN...oh thank you. DAMMIT DASH NOT YOU TOO!!!!

Delicate Flame said...

Here I was, waiting for the Diablo 3 beta to be released, and then I found this.

Happy! (>^^)>

Lunar Solace said...

Awesome. However right when I started typing Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Twilight all came over and stood (or in Twilight's case studied) on the text area.

Brandis said...

Pinkie Pie is the only one that looks right at you when you pick her up.... also her hooves dangle too... so cute!

The Linker said...

I played around with them for like five minutes, half paying attention, and the whole time I thought there were two Rainbow Dashes for some reason.

Then I realized one wasn't moving and remembered that Seth put one in the header. Duh.

panzi said...

@Apollo Breeze What browser do you use? I only tested with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox (on Linux). And a tiny bit in IE 8 (in a VirtualBox Windows XP), but I have no intentions to really support that nightmarish browser.

Pinkamena Diane Pie said...

Fluttershy was stalking Twilight.
Now Twilight's off studying alone in the corner.

fishysticky said...

luna looks like a filly

panzi said...

@GaruuSpike You can put it on any website you want using the bookmarklet. You have to click the bookmarklet every time you click a link, though. (Only a browser add-on could change this.)

Brandis said...

And now Pinkie is FOLLOWING rainbow dash around the screen! :DDD

GabuEx said...

EVERY COMMENTS SECTION NOW NEEDS TO HAVE THIS IN IT

This is like the best thing I've seen all week.

panzi said...

@HeroInferno You can drag the ponies aside when they are obscuring something. Maybe I should mention this on the webpage.

Mike said...

8D YAY! i've been wondering where this was.

Woof Hooves said...

smash that rain cloud dashy!!!!!

ponys + 48inch sceen is definatly 20% cooler

Thesplat151 said...

This is one of the most greatest things i ever- PINKIE STOP LAYING ON MY TEXT BOX!!

panzi said...

@Cyber.Kuriboh Go to the Browser Ponies website, add Trixie, drag the bookmarklet link to your bookmarks toolbar, click it to add Trixie to the website you are currently visiting.

panzi said...

@Scout You can do this yourself using the bookmarklet!

MouseNBrowse said...

@Scout
I third this suggestion... add an 'Add ponies!' button to EqD site please! :)

B-Man said...

That is pretty neat.

Mr Nutt said...

This is so going in my blog post when I do the next fan games LP video... now I just need to find more games for the video.

Moo said...

I totally din't expect the little conversation between Nightmare Moon and Celestia. Loved it so.

theexogenerate said...

I wish that Doctor Whooves was Tennant and not SMith. But I do love the 15 Derpy Hooves.

BWO Kilroy said...

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my Favorite page on the internet...

panzi said...

I'm glad everyone seems to like it. :)

(me = panzi = Mathias Panzenböck = the guy who wrote the JavaScript (browser) version)

Marshall said...

I love these. I might just go download Desktop ponies now! Also, you should totally put a button that activates these on the site. It needs to happen.

Rei_zero said...

this is awesome..
window ponies + desktop ponies + this = overload :P

lamebunny said...

Yay! Now why is Rarity chasing mycursor around? its hard to ttype..

Tyranoman said...

CUTIE MARK CRUSADER DESKTOP PONIES! YAY!

Sins Of Hope said...

I will sell my soul if someone will make them for a MAC!

fishburger said...

My own little Braeburn pet. :3

Unknown said...

Now if only someone could make Java ponies that I can ACTUALLY FUCKING DOWLOAD.

Casper said...

Needs moar luna!!!

Sins Of Hope said...

Tell me about it! I can't get it download to my Mac either.

Ponies for Mac Users!

Magdalene said...

*cries* I want ponies on my computer but I have a MAC! BOO HISS!

Todarac said...

SSHHHH guys Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are sleeping, and Twilight is reading.

Pinkamena Diane Pie said...

"Hey, Lyra. Come here."
"Oh, Bonbon~"

Luna's stalking Fillestia.

Celestia: "My faithful student."
Soaren: "Huh?"

Apple Bloom: "Scoot-scootaloo!"
Fillarity: "Hmm?"

Spike fornicates over Rarity.
Gummy follows me.

ChaosDX1 said...

I dare someone to play an action game while they are covering your screen.

...and Pinkie is staring at me now... mildly creepy.

If I didn't take my laptop to class to take notes, I'd install this! Liiiitle too embarrassing.

Hey, you can drag them around! Cool! ...and Twilight's right, I need to get back to studying. Later.

Azure said...

-clicks-

Loading Ponies...

Jack DeRipper said...

I wish they'd add Sheriff Silver Star :( he needs more love. (although I think I might be his only fan :'( )

RGamer2009 said...

Dammit Twi...I KNOW I need to get studying. DON'T REMIND ME! D:

Pinkamena Diane Pie said...

Three Lunas are stalking Fillestia.
Now all five are.
Lyra and Bonbon are walking into the wall together.

Muffinsforever said...

My phone is currently bugging out with too much pony.

This epic.

We need a pony button for the site, I want it to always have ponies walking on everything and just being awesome.

CynicalMuse said...

Hhhhnnnnnnnnnnng! Too much d'aawwww!

joetraincool said...

"This desktop needs to be about 20% cooler." -desktopRainbowDash

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Totally downloaded, and now Luna is asleep in the corner of my computer screen. D'aawww.

Sandman said...

AAAAGH!!!! They have invaded this page when I viewed it!!!

Curebores said...

Apparently Applejack shits apples... @_O

Pixel Coder said...

OK, that's it. Must write Objective C Cocoa Mac version! Tired of Java version eating up RAM and CPU and lagging behind Visual Basic .NET Windows version!

Scorched Wing said...

Cereal, you are beautiful.

Cedric Bale said...

MY MIND IS FULL OF PONY.
Also, lolol Fluttershy just gave The Stare to Scorched Wing's avatar.

Videogame9 said...

Hooray for more ponies!

Ricky said...

Hope you don't abuse this newfound power.

Venbrou said...

OH MY GOD YOU CAN MOVE THEM AROUND!

... OH GOD SHE'S STARING AT ME!!!
And then RD proceeds to do a sonic rainboom through the previous comment.
I am so downloading these...

Frenchi said...

Pinkie Pie is aware of your cursor.

I actually find that face... disconcerting, to say the least.

Tiroth said...

This thing finally convinced me to download the program, despite some of Pinkie's antics being...freaky.

Luna and filly!Celestia are now snuggling in their sleep off to one side.

So worth it.

Videogame9 said...

@Frenchi I love the animation when you drag her around. It's like the fourth wall doesn't even exist.

brongaar said...

What the, nothing is seen now.

template93 said...

cant seem to get this to work. does it work on macs or just pc?

Eliza said...

I downloaded the desktop ponies, now they're all over my page. I love this!!

template93 said...

i'm sad now, wont work on my mac. only windows. sigh

Miyajima said...

If you roll the mouse over Pinkie, she looks at you. Also, she's the only one that, when you pick her up, her legs start dangling.

Fluttershy and Rarity need more animations, tho'. =/

And just as I wrote that, Rainbow did a Sonic Rainboom. I think s- DAMMIT PINKIE STOP WALKING ON MY TEXT.

Blayze Kohime said...

I think these ponies are broken. When I drop one of the others on Rainbow Dash, no shipping occurs.

panzi said...

@Sins Of Hope Someone made Java Ponies (linked on the Desktop Ponies webpage). This *should* also work on Linux, but because of crappy support for transparent/translucent windows in Java+Linux it caused slowdowns, flickering and crashes for me. (Linux *does* support translucent windows very well, but Java does not understand this and uses the crappy old fallback method for shaped windows.)

However, Java Ponies works well on OS X (they say). I never tested it though. (As I said, I use Linux... and dualboot Windows for games only (Portal!).)

panzi said...

Btw. I added a bookmark menu download. You can import this bookmark file to get a menu that allows you to add particular ponies to a webpage. it also includes the start/stop/pause/resume/remove all ponies controls.

Meep said...

AAAHHHGG!!

My PC is infected with some sort of PONY VIRUS!!!

Hmm...

Best Virus EVER!!!

MarCelo said...

Was about to report as broken.. then I realized it was my scrip blocker taking away the happiness of a pony overload.

Split Lighting said...

Haha, this is awesome! We need LUNA AND CELLY!

Videogame9 said...

Happiness has been achieved.

Equinenox said...

Oh this. I forgot about this. I remember some time ago filling my screen with 75 parasprites.

hypnotix666 said...

There must be an app I could use for my iPads home screen@DJ Midli

pcdude2143 said...

@ChaosDX1 Too embarrassing? I had this running while sitting next to another of my brony friends in the most boring class ever. It was great.

Pav Feira said...

"if you click past it, you'll be covered in ponies, so, you've been warned."

COME AT ME, BRO! *clicks link*

...and Rainbow Dash just did a Sonic Rainboom on top of this edit box. Awesome. /)(^3^)(\

ZSabotage said...

The Ponies loaded up on my phone.
So, I guess the next order of business is Droid Wallpaper Ponies.

drakethedragon said...

Oh dear, when you put the cursor on Pinkie, she stares into your soul.

Joey said...

Pinkie pie...on my desktop....and all the other ponies?

yaaay!

DonSerrot said...

@RekiaraI saw this and had to make a video testing my phone's body.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AawTK5s-b8

CGAshford said...

@Bobbyzero
@ZSabotage
Already exists, thought I'm having trouble finding a link, it should be in the marketplace. Just search "My Little Pony" :3

James said...

Applejack is pooping apples on my screen.

Cloud Runner said...

Fluttershy falls asleep. Oh god my insulin!

Pinkie walks up behind her where my mouse is.
PINKIE! NO! STOP THAT STARE! YOU MIGHT MAKE FLUTTERSHY GET SCARED!

Pinkie bounces away and all is well with the world (because I never read Cupcakes and don't ever plan too :D).

CGAshford said...

null said...

For all of you asking about adding a pony button to the site: That's great and all, but if you go to the link up in the post, you can choose settings and get a Bookmarklet (plus a few control ones), which will allow you to put ponies on ANY PAGE ON THE INTERNET.

Discord said...

Waitaminute... I have ponies on my iPhone!!!!

thegamefilmguruman said...

Why do I keep coming back to this page?!...

Unknown said...

Listened to 'Chillin in Ponyville' by Chain Algorithm while letting all my ponies run freely about my desktop :D made me smile

Hunter X said...

Fluttershy fell asleep on my screen and my heart melted.

Rachel Lynn said...

I now have Twilight as my constant companion reading in the bottom right hand corner of my screen. :)

Nouthriss said...

Just a word of info for anyone that hasn't downloaded the offline version yet - it works much more fluent then (at least for me these java ones stutter a tiny little bit, while when I run them thru my .exe they're fine no matter how many of them I put out (and they consume pretty little amount of memory while active - they should be even old-computer friendly I think (and I'm thinking about the '99 kind of old)).

ALSO - you can customize their animations, which means that you can also edit chances of given behavior and the time (min - max) that the pony will spend doing it (e.g. sleeping or reading - I've got all my ponies re-edited to sleep more rarely (with like 1% chance instead of 5%) and generally longer (not, like, 10-60 seconds, but 30 to, say, even 300 (they're super-cute while asleep anyway ;)). Also my version of Twilight has been re-edited to accompany my studying, so she has drastically increased stats for her ,,reading a book" animation.

...and there's also the option to make them play hoofball or tennis - funny thing with that being the fact, that you can actually take control of them then and make an improvised two player duel :).

Soooo - for anyone still possessing any doubts - this app is generally well worth it and nicely modifiable.

...and yes, Pinkie does seem to like this text-edit windowy thing exceptionally ;p

null said...

@Hunter X

Fluttershy fell asleep over my Post Comment button earlier. I sat there and waited because I didn't want to wake her up.

Then I realized how ridiculous that was. And I promptly... continued to wait anyway.

Mike said...

My antivirus thinks desktop ponies is a virus because lag :(

Applejack85 said...

that's pretty freaking cool, i love my desktop ponies xD

Mike said...

There should be a pinkie pie mod for microsoft word that replaces clippy. Is javascript compatible w/ word?

Crepuscular Fox said...

ESET NOD32,

Wai u no confirm DP site clean!?

Fritz said...

Flüttershy just gave "The stare" to my mouse pointer... So weird.

Flameheart said...

Ponies...Ponies everywhere

MagicWuff said...

All right, there needs to be a browser plugin so they are on every page...all the time...

jinratgeist said...

I love this shit!!! :D

Beth said...

Love how when you pick up Pinkie pie to move her, her legs dangle around in the air, hahaha.

mkmiku said...

Omg, my browser looks just like my dreams! o_O

Sandman said...

Hmmm, This was working fine yesterday but now its being weird and not loading. I have safari and i'm using the javascript one if that helps.

Kovu said...

My friend hates ponies.
At first I was going to try the Orbital Friendship Cannon, but I think gaining temporary access to his computer would be a better idea. =)

ZSabotage said...

@CGAshford
MLP FIM Live Wallpaper
Can't get it to work.

JEEZUSCHRYSLER said...

This should be on every ED page.

Sandman said...

Lol, I added Celestia to the mane 6 and they did the theme!

banannagram said...

In the download link he put near the bottom, he forgot to add the "ponies" folder. There aren't any images for the ponies I tried to load! Derp.

banannagram said...

http://web.student.tuwien.ac.at/~e0427417/browser-ponies/

^ If you downloaded the .zip file he provided, these are all the files you should've gotten.

If you click on the ponies/ folder, you'll end up looking at the folders of the pony graphics. I think you'll have to download the files one by one, so I only did the ones I wanted.

Gadvac said...

Oh, geez, this is excellent. Pinkie is watching me type. Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh.

panzi said...

@banannagram I intentionally not included them. I didn't make them. They are just from desktopponies.co.cc, where you can download them. The zip only contains the source. It's an automatically updated checkout from the mercurial repository.

However, because of demand I added a second zip with the images as well now. Because I did do one change: I fixed the file names so they work on a case sensitive file system (i.e. the web).

panzi said...

@null It's ridiculous because you could have scrolled the button away from under her without disturbing her. ;)

Casper said...

Yo dawg, i put ponies in your ponies so you can pony while you pony

null said...

@panzi

Yeah, it happened right away so I didn't know that at the time. I know JS can detect scrolling and wasn't sure which events the ponies would respond to. Lesson learned!

panzi said...

@null Actually I don't detect scrolling in JavaScript but just use the CSS property "position: fixed" to let the browser handle this. :)

Kantuva said...

@MagicWuff
This! with an intesity of thousand suns!

panzi said...

@Kantuva Someone made a grease monkey script for that, don't know how good it works:

this is awesome... now if only twilight would get off the post comment button...

Jamar said...

Oh Pinkie Pie you so random

A Sonic Rainboom!!!!! She did it she did it whooooooooooo!!!!!!!

AustinB said...

Oh my gosh, I love this- Move Pinkie Pie! Hey Pinkie, do you realize that your machine, what the hay is that thing? Sorry Fluttershy, please move. Hey, Pinkie, how the heck does that thing work, hey, Rarity, love your mane, but your sorta in the way...No, I didn't wan't whining, what are you talking about? Hey Pinkie, aag, please move Rarity. Hey, Pinkie Pie, how does your machine work-It doesn't produce any net thrust. It would only fan things.

Fenris730 said...

I can't help but notice Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are the only ones who react to the mouse hovering over them and being picked up

The_Armadillo said...

It runs on my iPod! The lag is really terrible though. I like how they won't go away. It's not a big, it's a feature! Pinkie says that it's a party. Kbai.

How do you download these and make them work?
