Game Over (Mission Failed) A funny error sound extension 📢🚨
Plays a funny meme sound when a runtime error happens in your code!
Ever felt the crushing defeat of a syntax error or a sudden runtime exception? Now you can soften the blow with a hilarious meme sound effect. Every time a new error diagnostic is detected in your code, this extension will automatically play a random sound, turning your debugging tears into tears of joy.
Features 🚀
Automatically plays a random .mp3 or .wav sound whenever an Error level diagnostic is found in your active workspace.
Limitless entertainment: Keeps tracking active errors to minimize repetitive sounds on the same exact errors.
Includes a handy test command: Game Over: Test Sound to make sure your speakers are fully prepared for failure.
Usage 🕹️
Install the extension.
The extension automatically activates on VS Code startup.
Write some code that causes an error (e.g., a missing semicolon or an undefined variable).
BOOM! Enjoy the sweet sound of failure! 💥
To test the audio playback manually:
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac).
Type and select: Game Over: Test Sound.
Requirements 🎵
There are no special requirements! The extension operates completely locally using the sound-play library. Just make sure your system volume is turned up!
(Note: Custom user-provided sounds are not yet supported, but you can feel free to add your own .mp3 or .wav files to the extension's media folder if you install it locally).
Known Issues 🐛
The extension tracks a maximum of 2,000 unique errors concurrently to keep memory usage low. If you exceed this, it will wipe the history and alert on old errors again if they persist.
Sound playback relies on your OS's default media playback capabilities (via sound-play).
