A classic brick breaker arcade game, right inside your VS Code sidebar.
Brixor is the perfect pastime for when you're vibecoding and waiting for the LLM to finish writing the code for you. Play directly in the VS Code Explorer panel while pretending to be productive — complete with colorful brick rows, paddle physics, and that satisfying feeling of chasing the high score (because someone else is writing the code anyway).
