The DALEK
Lutz Schubert


Meet an old "friend" of Doctor Who: The Dalek! Indestructable it explores your desktop, just waiting for something to exterminate.

It's wishing time: this is a very initial version giving you some opportunity on influencing its development. Note the list of planned features in the Widget Info and comment on these, respectively suggest more - I can't promise anything but I'll do my best! ;)

Current features
• independently rotating base, head and eyes
• follow cursor within proximity
• "exterminate" on double-click

Thanks to the Konfabulator team for testing and distributing the Widgets :)

v0.9 - initial version

Features planned
• glowing ears with speech
• shorten the arm (I think it's too long)
• increase movement range of eye
• move arms
• recognise the Tardis ;)
• ???

this cathy person should get a life too,arent people allowed to have a bit of fun,its typical that the net has to have a person like you on it everywhere i turn.you must have had an interest in it too to know it was here,so you get a life.

I love this guy! It's so cool how he follows your mouse with his eye! And the "EXTERMINATE!"--Well that's just too good to be true. I give four stars. :)

What's wrong with the world!! This widget has been downloaded over 14000 times, while the Cathy widget has only been downloaded about 4000 times. Don't you people realize the genius of Cathy!! The current series where she's battling her weight just speak to me!! And her relationship issues with her husband (finally, after 20 years of dating) Irving are SO real I cry with laughter when I read her. The Dalek??!! Please, people get a life. Recognize the genius that is Cathy. Cathy will live through the ages, long after people have fogotten Dr. Who!

You beat me too it... oh well yours is far better than one that i would make.

cute. very cute. i think it would be cool if it zapped icons that you clicked on, and have it saying "exterminate the doctor" once in a while would also be cool

I also have 2 screens; - I quite like it as is...

...but If possible I'd suggest a resize option as well...(or a couple of different sizes) and perhaps slightly smoother animation.... nice work tho.

Cool! =)

Cant wait for the new features =)

Should make it shoot desktop icons if you double click them or something =)

Lutz - December 13, 2005
two screens is actually a valid criticism... I'll add that to my todo list ;)

i have a two monitor display so it can't be that uncommon...But still, looking foward to any updates.

very nice

how many people have multiple displays? 2 stars is a bit harsh.

Robert - December 13, 2005
I was all excited about letting this servant of Khali roam about until it got to the edge of my 1st display and turned around.

The poor baby Dalek needs some help handling multi-display workstations. When I dragged it from the primary screen to a different one it sits and spins as if it can't figure out which way to go.

It also doesn't realize that when it gets to the edge of the primary screen that it can continue onto the next display.
