MOBero 0.3.1 — Enemy encounters and coin pickups

The walking mobster now encounters one to three enemies every 21 seconds of active animation. He shoots them, each turns into a small Monero icon, and the icon disappears when he catches it. These coins are decorative, not mined earnings.

The animation pauses when the window is hidden or Reduce Motion is enabled, and resets when mining stops. It continues to run at 12 frames per second.

Download this version and replace or reinstall your existing app to get the animation. Wallet and settings are preserved.

• Ubuntu 22.04+ x64: download the .deb, install it, and open MOBero from the app menu. The .tar.gz is an extract-and-run alternative: keep the folder together and open mobero. The DEB is recommended, especially on Ubuntu 24.04+; it installs required libraries and integrates the Chromium sandbox.
• Windows 10+ x64: run the .exe installer, or extract the .zip and open MOBero.exe inside it.
• Apple Silicon, macOS 26+: the native Mac app remains version 0.3.1. Open the DMG, drag MOBero into Applications and replace your old copy, or use the ZIP. Existing settings are preserved. This Mac build is not Apple-notarized; first launch may require System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Enter your Monero wallet and press Start. The miner is bundled; no browser extension, Node installation, or separate miner setup is needed. Nothing mines on launch. Closing the app stops its miner.

Automated tests cover encounter timing, varying group sizes, shooting, coin collection, animation pause/stop, desktop launch, and miner Start/Stop/quit using a loopback-only connection. No public-pool mining is performed.

Checksums and corresponding modified XMRig source are included. Both default and minimum donation levels remain zero.
