Kind little animals cards – mole, bunnies, birds, plus 9 cards!

Summer is here! The sun is shining again. Everything is so summery. And fun. Kind little animals are back in development. A new version of the cards. Today, it's about 8 + 1 card. Sort of 8 new cards with kind little animals. And one card is a variation on the theme. It has a different background. It's for a squirrel. Otherwise, everything is the same.

I draw kind little animals. My regular theme. It's a picture and a story. A short one. That's how it appears on the blog. Here's this version of the program. Release. Includes cards for 2025. That's already a program. Kind little animals cards. First of all, the cards themselves. And some other software. Today, it's about the cards. Each card is a small program. Written in VB.NET. In Visual Basic. You could say so. There's a picture. A story. It's the same as the blog. And it's in the app format. There are settings. Language selection—English or Russian. Color scheme selection. Text, background. You can choose colors. And view the image. And read the story. It's about animals. Each card is an animal.

The first card. It's about a fish. I've never seen such kind little animals before. I even thought about making a separate episode about fish. Well, maybe I'll do that later. But for now, the first fish in the kind little animals series. A vendace. A clever fish, by the way. Swimming calmly and thinking about all sorts of things! The fish says, "Hello!"

A little mouse goes to visit another little mouse. Such a playful picture about mice. These are kind little animals, after all. So they visit each other. The little mouse, happy and cheerful, walks through the grass. Looks around. It's real summer here. And he's in a great mood. So why not go visit. His friend. Grass. Everything is green. So beautiful. This picture conveys a true summer mood.

A gray flycatcher. It's a small bird. It has its own nest in a tree hollow. And it's busy. And today the bird is flying across the field, inviting everyone to play hide-and-seek. Beetles, sparrows. Today you can relax. Especially since it's still spring. The sun is waking up. It's already bright and sunny. There's grass. You can chat with friends and play hide-and-seek. In the picture, it's still only spring. And everyone is waking up after winter. Lots of sun and fun awaits. A great mood – for the future, fun, positivity, joy.


A bird is hopping through the bushes. Such an orange picture. A sunny sunset. A sunny sunrise. I saw this in my garden in the summer of 2025, for real. In the golden rays of the sunset, such a bird was running and examining everything. Jumping, you could say. From one pile of planted plants to another.

Golden light. Piles of soil. Something is growing there. Something small. A salad or a radish. And a little bird hopping. Looking around. The sun is shining all around, and it's a wonderful, carefree summer evening. Not hot, but warm. I'm in a great mood. Calm and positive. This is one of the reasons I wait for summer. For days like these.


A squirrel jumping from tree to tree. This is a bit new. These are two cards. They just have different backgrounds. A field and a sky. Two versions. The sky is a blue background. And the field is a green background. And so the kind little squirrel jumps from branch to branch. And goes to its nest. Grasshoppers below. Then a river. It's interesting to look at what's below. From the branches, everything is so new and interesting.

A blue tit is flying. A wonderful summer day. A tree. Bushes. Grass. A bird is flying. From the tree to the grass. And it does everything quickly everywhere. And it looks. Literally - a minute here. And then further up the tree, look for the bird. And then she runs around the clearing again. Such a lively little bird. This is a real story. I saw a bird doing just that at the dacha. During the day. Hopping in the field. In the bushes. Then I saw her in a tree. And so on constantly—back and forth.


Mother rabbit with her babies. Also an interesting drawing. Maybe a little different in style. And another series could be made based on this drawing. But these are all kind little animals. And for now, everything is within the framework of the card project. Mother and babies in a clearing. It's nice here. The grass is delicious. Everything is sunny. They are playing and having fun.

A mole emerges from underground. The last drawing. In this version. The mole emerged. And didn't damage the flowers. He planted carrots and radishes. And says hello!

Kind animals little cards version 0.3 "Grasshopper" - it is newest version. 8 new little cards about good and kind animals. With little picture. And small story. 2 little programs. Grasshopper is excellent musician. Sings songs in a grass. Spring and summer here about theme. Mole, goose and another little animals.

Kind little animals cards – summer list

The time for kind little animals has come again. Because it's summer now. And this time there will be several more programs that display lists with cards. This is a new version of the Small List program. And Icons 100. It shows cards in a list. And you can launch them from there. An expansion of the theme. Not just cards anymore. But also some software. For now, in a simple form. And the pros and cons are clear, but not clear what it's for.

These are lists with cards. In different forms. Here's a small list. The program has already received a number of new features. You can now specify the path to the cards. This is the path to the folder where the cards are stored. And a number of functions related to the list. For now, the functions are unclear. For example, random card. It takes a random card from the list and displays its name in a message. A message box. Or card of the day. For now, this is the same as random card. But over time, we can come up with something interesting. Print to file is available. The entire list is saved to a text file. It contains all the names of the cards from the list.

All these strange features can be further developed. These are additional features. And they already exist. For now, in this form. Also, all the cards are centered. That is, they are displayed in the center of the screen. And all the programs behave the same way. Everything is centered on the screen. It's not even difficult to do.

100 icons. Now all the icons are inside an additional thing. These are like built-in windows. And all the cards are there. All these lists have been updated with new cards. 9 new cards. And some software that displays lists. In different formats. As a list. As icons. 100 pixels wide. And somewhere around 20-30 pixels high. These little stripes. These lists display cards. And they do this in different ways. With icons. Or text. Again, this is a revival of an old theme, for which a new version was long overdue. The animals are doing great this summer, and a new version is already being developed. As the saying goes, the mole and the owl help.

Cards can be viewed from lists. Such as the Small List. Or Icons 100. It shows what was found. In the folder with cards. Now you can specify the folder with cards. In the settings. The path is called. And the search will show what's there. Lists help you view cards. You can launch them from there.

The kind little animals are preparing a gift for all users. This is a new release. It's in production. 9 new cards. And some software. These lists, for example, are already available. I've had an idea for these icons for a long time. For example, 100 by 30 pixels. Or 200 by some other number. And you look at these images and click. And a card opens.

It looks cool visually. And so I'm implementing this idea. So, in the Icons 100 program, there are already a lot of cards. And they are stored inside a TabControl. And you scroll with the mouse. And the program itself—its window—is not tall. It's more long and has a small height. That was the visual image.

Also, there will be a similar program. But with icons 200 pixels long. And taller. That was the idea from the very beginning. But the images seemed too big in the layout. So I reduced them to 100. These are the 100 icons. And a program with 200 icons is also in development. The purpose is not yet clear. But there will be 200 icons too. A starting version. In the future, each program will be developed further. And will begin to specialize, find its own focus. And a landscape is also coming. With friendly little animals. This was in one of the initial versions, as an idea. But it was never implemented. A landscape. With grass and a river, for example. Where the friendly little animals live. A kind of fun map. Which is randomly generated

Kind Animals version 0.4 – Landscape Generator – Who lives here?

Who lives here? Look, a river. Look, a meadow. Such green grass grows here. But for now, only one chick lives here. He runs along the virtual grass. Among the flowers. The chick lives in the meadow. But there's no one in the river yet. This is the first version of the Landscape Generator program.

This is the first version of the program. The Kind Animals project includes cards. In addition to the cards, there are also some additional programs. For example, this one. There's a 10 by 10 grid. 50 by 50 pixel squares. These are pictures. And there's a button to create a landscape. And it randomly generates a landscape. There are four pictures of a meadow. And two of a river. And in some of the pictures of the meadow, there's a chick.

There's a text field on the right. It says: A description for this cell on the grid. What's the name? For example, this is a meadow. This is a river. And who lives there? So far, only one chick. And what's the name of the image file? This is a program for fun. I planned it a long time ago, and now it's the first implementation.

It doesn't interact with the cards in any way right now. This is just a demonstration of the idea itself. Landscape generation. And it's created. You can click the "Create Landscape" button. And a new landscape will appear. And this happens every time. Right now, that's the main thing here. Plus, the familiar interface from the Good Animals programs. These are the settings. Two languages: Russian and English. Colors. Background color and text color. You can specify a new option—the path to the cards. But in this program, this doesn't affect anything.

In the future, in my dreams, the program could generate a landscape based on the specified cards. A duckling card is a meadow. A fish card is a river. And in one of the cards, such an animal seems to live. All this isn't implemented yet. Only landscape generation is there. The first version. A trial version.

Good Animals cards – here, cards are mainly the main theme. And third-party software. Lists and icons with cards for easy launch. And the third integration. This is landscape generation. These cards could somehow be involved in landscape generation. And some description in the text field.


Such-and-such an animal lives here. This is a meadow. The program expands on the theme of the Good Animals cards. It turns out that, at the concept level, the landscape will depend on the cards. This kind of integration. Along the line of cards, landscape, and software. This hasn't been done yet. Only one button. Create landscape. And a simple landscape is simply randomly generated. 6 is a type of territory. 4 is a meadow. And 2 is a river.

That's all there is here. The project is ongoing. New software is coming. Landscape Generator. This is even a small gameplay element. A landscape for animals. And you can search for who lives where. Such a cheerful pixel background. Pixel pictures. Everything is kind and cheerful. Everything is so summery. And the animals. They're hiding somewhere here. In a field, a meadow. In a river. Find someone.

Yes, it's a fun activity for yourself. Like a board game, I guess. But still. It's an interesting development of ideas with cards. You never know, maybe something interesting will happen! So far, there's only a chick! He lives in a meadow. And he's having fun running among the flowers there. Everything is so low-pixelated. And summery. It's great for the mood.

Kind Animals Cards Version 0.4 "Little Bird" – even with a field! The bird is jumping!

So it's time to make a new issue with kind animals. They've been waiting for a long time. New cards. And new software. It's summer here. And the best time of year right now. Summer. Positive. Joyful and sunny. It's the time of kind animals. They're all running around somewhere.

This is the 4th version. And it's called "little bird." By chance. Last summer. It was a real bird. Running and jumping in the garden. At sunset. A beautiful summer sunset. Soft rays of sun. Such a golden evening, but it's still practically day. Everything is bright. And so sunny. And a bird is running through the bushes. I watched the bird run. What the bird's name is - I don't know.

This version has new cards again. Software update. New software. Nine new cards. With new animals. They're all kind and cheerful. There's even a squirrel there twice. The background is different. The squirrel runs through the trees, and below there's water or a field. There are two of these cards. The distinguishing feature is that it's like one card. But the background is different. And the animals are different. For the first time, a fish appears here. I thought the fish would be something else. Some kind of new cycle. Perhaps. But for now, the fish are also considered kind animals. And fish are needed here too.


There are birds, a mouse, a rabbit or a hare. And even a mole has emerged. There's also a mole. There are lots of birds too. A gray flycatcher, a blue tit. I myself know little even about such birds. A funny little mouse who walks so cheerfully to visit with long strides. Rabbits with their mother in a field. Lots of rabbits! It's fun. Such is the world of kind little animals. Where every day is summer and they have fun. Among the new features, all programs now launch in the center of the screen. Cards too. This is for convenience and isn't difficult to implement. I'm also learning Visual Basic in VB.NET. Then there are updates to the list—Little List and IconStart. A new setting allows you to specify the path to cards. You specify a folder, and the program searches for them there. New options for the Little List include a random card and printing the list of found cards to a file.

 


IconStart has also been improved. It now has a Favorites tab with 5 cards. And everything is now in a new control mode—TabControl. The program is sleek and not very tall. But you scroll and see everything. Lots of icons measuring 100 by 30 pixels.  

New software—Icon200. These are also icons, 200 pixels long. The idea is that it will also have its own functionality. Initially, I wanted icons that were 200 in length. But then they got too big, so I reduced them to 100. Now they're 200. Right-click - menu. And minimal functionality. The standard settings interface is there.


And there's also new software – Landscape Generator. This isn't just a list anymore. A fundamentally new type of program. It's already playful and entertaining. It generates an entire landscape. Pixelated. Made of squares. 10 by 10. A playing field. And some animals live there. You can find a chicken there now. A meadow and a river. From the landscape types. A fundamentally new program. This isn't just a list anymore. But some software that will eventually include cards.

 

Currently, it has a standard interface, and even a path to the cards. But this isn't used in the program itself. For now, there are only six landscape types. Four types for a field. And two types for a river. And some types of pictures like a field. A chicken lives there. On the right, a text field says something about this landscape. When you move the mouse, it says: "There's a field here, and a chicken lives here." For example.

Here's a cheerful little bird. Episode four! The bird is hopping across the field. And soon it will fly back to its nest. And here we have a beautiful summer evening.

 

 

Kind animals little cards version 0.4 "Little bird" - it is newest version. 8 new little cards about good and kind animals. With little picture. And small story. New soft, Landscape generator, first version. Soft with lists. Little birds, mole, bunny with a mother, squirell at the tress and another little animals.
