## Description

Stray Sheep is a fun and adorable floating widget for Android devices featuring a lively animated stray sheep. Activate the widget with a simple play button, and watch as the sheep roams freely or move it manually anywhere on your screen. Interact with the sheep by double-tapping to see playful responses, or hide it easily by holding your finger over it.

Inspired by Tatsutoshi Nomura's classic 1994 'Sheep' game and the Fuji Television animation 'Stray Sheep Poe', this charming widget combines nostalgia with modern interactivity. It is perfect for users who want to add a cute and dynamic companion to their Android experience. Credits are given to the original creators and sprite contributors, ensuring a respectful homage to this beloved character.
