You always need a window. The trick is to make the window look like it’s nothing but the sprite. There are three parts to it:
Creating a window the same size as your sprite.
Asking the OS (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.) to give you a window with no titlebar or borders. (Like things like WinAMP did.)
Setting the shape mask.
(The shape mask is like GIF transparency. It lets you specify that part of the window’s square should be excluded when drawing it or processing mouse input.)
It’s possible you might also be able to draw into another application’s window, but that sort of thing was generally Windows 3.1 or early X11 stuff and I don’t know if it still works on modern OSes.
I can’t say any more without knowing what language you’re asking about.
For windows you will need to open your task manager, select the file you clicked to start the goose, then hit end task in the bottom right corner. I'm not sure what to do for mac so I apologize if this doesn't help you.
now i have a pigeon and a goose... what should I get next lol
Edit: I love him and his memes but stealing my cursor is a bit much esp. since he's done it 5 times in the past 3 mins. also is there any way that I can mess w him like how he messes w me? itd be pretty fun lol
2nd edit: my pigeon is so nice but hes a lil butt lol
