Description
# MurderPets
A Tamagotchi-style companion pet addon for World of Warcraft 12.0 (Midnight) that feeds on your kills!
## What It Does
MurderPets displays a cute pet on your screen that reacts to your gameplay. The more enemies you kill, the happier your pet becomes! But be careful - if you stop killing or go idle, your pet's happiness will fade.
## Features
- **Kill Tracking** - Tracks both PvP (Honorable Kills) and PvE (Creature Kills)
- **Dynamic Happiness States** - Pet appearance changes based on your kill count
- **Sleep System** - Pet falls asleep if you're idle for too long
- **Death Sync** - When you die, your pet dies too (and loses all kills on respawn)
- **Customizable** - Resizable, movable, and lockable position
- **Lightweight** - Uses polling instead of protected events for 12.0 compatibility
## Happiness States
| Kills | State | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| Player Dead | Dead | Pet dies with you |
| 3 min idle | Sleeping | Pet falls asleep, kills reset to 0 |
| 0-4 | Sad | Pet needs more kills! |
| 5-9 | Neutral | Pet is content |
| 10-14 | Happy | Pet is enjoying the carnage |
| 15-19 | Excited | Pet is thrilled! |
| 20+ | In Love | Pet adores you! |
## How It Works
1. **Kill Detection** - The addon polls WoW's Statistics API every 0.5 seconds to detect new kills
2. **Combat Feeding** - Kills are collected during combat and fed to your pet when combat ends
3. **Idle Detection** - Checks player position to detect movement; 3 minutes of no movement triggers sleep
4. **Death Detection** - Polls player death state; respawning resets kills to 0

## Textures
The addon includes 7 pet textures in TGA format:
