+~ A friend of mine + +What is this post about? Well, it's about a game that was a big part of my childhood, and probably the childhood of many others as well. + +The game ~is~ was called Club Penguin. + +![Club Penguin](/blog/club-p/banner.webp) + +If you do not remember Club Penguin, chances are you were not a child in the 2000s. (you're either too old or too young) + +Club Penguin was a virtual world where you could create your own penguin, decorate your igloo, play games, and chat with other players. +The games ranged from anything like sled racing to card games, and they were all fun in their own way (The Card-Jitsu was my favorite). +You could earn coins by playing games, and you could use those coins to buy clothes, furniture, and other items for your penguin. + +The only downside was that you had to be a member to access all the features, but even without a membership, the game was still fun. +I could still buy an item or two for my penguin, and I could still play most of the games. (There was even a complete quest line about being a secret agent!) + +It was a game that was simple, yet fun, and it was a game that I spent countless hours playing while blasting my favorite artists! + +If you're wondering, my favorite artists were (and still are) Avril Lavigne, Green Day, Blink-182 and Nirvana. (Yes, I was an edgy kid) + +Keep in mind, this was before I discovered Pink Floyd, which I consider the greatest band of all time. (Yes, I'm still an edgy kid) + +# Unfortunately, +Club Penguin was shut down in 2017, and it was replaced by a mobile version called Club Penguin Island. But it was not the same. + +The original Club Penguin was the best, and nothing can replace it. +Oh, and also the mobile version was shut down in 2018, so there's that. + +![Dojo](/blog/club-p/dojo.webp) + +## Now, where are you, Club Penguin? + +I know that the original feeling might never come back, but there are some private servers that are trying to bring back the game. + +I won't mention any of them here, but if you're interested, you can find them with a simple Google search. + +Since I'm talking about Club Penguin, I might as well mention that I'm working on a small project related to the game. + +## Well, kind of. + +The project is not a game yet, and it's VERY lacking in features, but it's a start. + +I cannot overstate how much I love Club Penguin, and I wanted to create something that would bring back some of the nostalgia. + +So, I started creating... *(drum roll...)* + +# Club Cat... *(crickets...)* + +I know, I know, the name is a blatant rip-off of Club Penguin, but I couldn't think of anything better (for now). + +![Project](/blog/club-p/demo.png) + +The project if we can even call it that, is a simple chat room with cats instead of penguins. + +Nothing is animated, nor there is any multiplayer for that matter, but it's a start. +You can click around the canvas and talk to yourself, but that's about it. +I'm planning to add more features in the future, but I'm not sure when that will happen, as I have other work to tend to as well. + +The source code for the project is available on my Gitea instance, and you can check it out [here](https://gitea.zvonimir.xyz/zvonimir/club-cat). + +If you wish to contribute, feel free to contact me, and I'll be happy to make you an account. + +
