I created an extension which adds a custom pet to your editor (Cursor/ VS Code/ Windsurf compatible).

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.

This is cool! …and probably very annoying after a while :P

> 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…

Something on my ideas list was some interactive game type thing for when cursor is busy "thinking".
This should fit the bill nicely!

This seems perfect for streaming while vibe coding before an audience like Twitch or maybe sharing screen in a classroom setting.

Why…? As if "vibe coding" wasn't useless garbage to begin with…

Very cool. I have VSCode pets in my editor, it’s usually minimized but I like knowing clippy is in there jumping around.

Clippy? Bonsai Buddy? Is that you?
