MJ Code Criminal

"Hee-Hee!" — As he came into the file, it was a code criminal!

MJ Code Criminal plays legendary Michael Jackson voice clips whenever your code has errors or your build fails.

Features

  • Iconic Clips: Randomly plays "Shamone", "Hee-Hee", "Aaow!", and more when errors occur.
  • Fast Performance: Uses a native PowerShell audio engine for zero-latency screams.
  • Smart Detection: Monitors VS Code diagnostics (TypeScript, ESLint, Python, etc.) and terminal output (npm, cargo, tsc).
  • Cooldown Mode: Prevents overlapping audio if multiple errors appear at once.

Commands

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for MJ:

  • MJ: Test Error Sound - Test a random MJ error clip.
  • MJ: Test Success Sound - Verify the success notification.
  • MJ: Toggle On/Off - Quickly enable or disable MJ.

Configuration

Customize MJ in your VS Code settings:

Setting Default Description
mjCodeCriminal.enabled true Enable/Disable the extension globally.
mjCodeCriminal.volume 1.0 Set playback volume (0.0 to 1.0).
mjCodeCriminal.successSounds true Play a notification when all errors are cleared.

Requirements

  • Windows: Uses PowerShell for audio playback.

Known Issues

  • Currently optimized for Windows. Support for macOS and Linux is coming soon!
