As you type, your pet hatches, acquires XP and evolves.
A playing card is generated when your pet evolves.
All pixel art is original and hand/ mouse drawn.
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…
Git integration would be low hanging fruit so could def add that in. (build/ testing/ ci integrations would be trickier I suspect?)
This should fit the bill nicely!
I recall a site adding Memory Match minigame while a build was running (was it Vercel?), and I couldn’t help playing it every time.
Add in tic-tac-toe and a few others and you have yourself a cool extension.
Maybe a more constructive game also: a multiple choice quiz about your code to make sure you understand it?
In panel mode: The panel is treated like another open file tab, so needs to be manually positioned alongside your open code (so that both are visible simultaneously).
I carry the scars of 90s internet to know better.
