fly-paradise

Project Overview

Fly Paradise is a Windows desktop entertainment app built with Electron that lets you raise fruit flies on your desktop. It offers two modes: the standard build for yourself, where adults cap at 12 and turning all 12 green clears the game; and a prank-oriented build better suited to other people's computers, auto-starting on boot with more eggs and no population limit. Source code is provided and can be run directly with npm.

A nest of fruit flies on your desktop, to raise yourself or to gift.

Key Features

• Two modes: the standard build for clearing the game, and the prank build with more eggs and no limit
• Standard clearing: adults cap at 12, and all 12 turning green clears the game
• Auto-start on boot: enabled by default in the prank build, disabled in the standard build
• Two installers: one installer per mode, chosen by purpose
• Runnable source: source is provided and can be run directly with npm
