# Mobster [](https://travis-ci.org/dillonkearns/mobster)
A mob/pair programming timer, inspired by the [MobProgramming/MobTimer.Python](https://github.com/MobProgramming/MobTimer.Python). Runs great on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Learn all about mobbing at the MobTimer.Python github page, and at [mobprogramming.org](http://mobprogramming.org/).
Mobster was built with delight in Elm and Electron 
## RPG Mode
You can play through the mob programming RPG to practice mobbing skills with your team. This is a port of [Willem Larsen](https://github.com/willemlarsen)'s excellent [Mob Programming RPG](https://github.com/willemlarsen/mobprogrammingrpg). This is a fantastic way to learn about some of the subtleties that are essential to effective mobbing, such as the [Driver/Navigator Pattern (also known as Strong-Style)](http://llewellynfalco.blogspot.com/2014/06/llewellyns-strong-style-pairing.html).
### Recommended Structure
* Pick a familiar exercise in a familiar language if possible so you can focus on learning mobbing skills, not a new language, etc.
## Using Active Mobsters for Git Commit Authors/Shell Scripts
The active mobsters will always be up-to-date in the `active-mobsters` file.
The location of this file for the different platforms is:
- `%APPDATA%\mobster\active-mobsters` on Windows
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mobster/active-mobsters` or `~/.config/mobster/active-mobsters` on Linux
- `~/Library/Application Support/mobster/active-mobsters` on macOS
(As described in `appData` section of the Electron docs](https://electron.atom.io/docs/api/app/#appgetpathname)).
The names in the `active-mobsters` file are separated by `,`s with spaces like so: `Jim Kirk, Spock, McCoy`.
You can set the author field in a commit to the list of active mobsters. See [mobster-commit.sh](https://github.com/dillonkearns/mobster/blob/master/mobster-commit.sh) for a working example. After committing with this script, your `git log` will look something like:
```shell
$ git log
commit 39d59e7e4c9acb021988b3040f9b7ace5f539b78
Author: James Kirk, Leonard McCoy, Spock
Date: Fri Mar 3 21:00:25 2017 -0500
Set phasers to stun.
```
## Workaround for Windows 10 Transparency Issues
There is a [known Electron bug for transparency in Windows 10](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9357) (see also https://github.com/dillonkearns/mobster/issues/49). If you have this issue on your machine, you can disable transparency with these steps:
* Create a file called `NO_TRANSPARENCY` in the directory `%APPDATA%/mobster` (make sure it doesn't have a `.txt` or any other extension). You can type the [Windows]+[R] command and paste in `%APPDATA%/mobster` to get directly to the directory where this file should go.
* Restart Mobster
Thanks @steverb1 for reporting the issue and testing workarounds!
