> Your pet will gain XP as you code in either mode.
Feature request: the pet gets extra experience in certain situations, e.g.:
* when a failing build gets fixed
* when a previously red test gets green
* when the typing speed is sufficiently high
* when a commit is made that removes a lot of code
* when a commit is made that increases code coverage
* etc…
These are great ideas. It'd be fun to make virtual pets that only lived / grew through GitHub actions and then were updated in the project readme
I really love this idea but I'm having such a hard time using it. After hatching the egg with Ctrl + Shift + P, I have no idea how to "type" on that blank panel (I use Cursor). When I open new files, the egg disappears. Frustrating.
Very cool. I have VSCode pets in my editor, it’s usually minimized but I like knowing clippy is in there jumping around.
Something on my ideas list was some interactive game type thing for when cursor is busy "thinking".
This should fit the bill nicely!
This is cool! ...and probably very annoying after a while :P
This may have converted me to AI coding.
This is just a normal VS Code extension, AI coding not required
This may have converted me to VS coding.
This seems perfect for streaming while vibe coding before an audience like Twitch or maybe sharing screen in a classroom setting.
Why anyone would want to watch vibe coding is beyond me.
Learning prompting? Or how to set up your environment with a readme? I think they're are ways to be more productive with riding the vibe!
what's that japanese? ペジト ( pejito)? why is it not コダチ (kodachi)?
ペット？ So it's "petto".
Thank you.
This is pretty awesome!
Haha I love it!
Clippy? Bonsai Buddy? Is that you?
It's spelled BonziBUDDY
My mistake. I am sorry that early 2000s memories of Windows malware disguised as virtual friends is failing me.
Why...? As if "vibe coding" wasn't useless garbage to begin with...
