Coding Screen Saver 👨‍💻

"Even if you sleep or leave your seat, this screensaver keeps coding. Your boss will think you're working all night."

Screen Saver Demo

🚀 Introduction

Coding Screen Saver is an immersive extension for VS Code that simulates live coding. It fetches real code snippets from open-source repositories (GitHub) and types them out on your screen when you are idle.

It's not just a screensaver; it's a productivity camouflage tool.

✨ Features

  • 🕵️‍♂️ Boss-Proof Mode: Simulates realistic typing speeds to make it look like you are hard at work.
  • 📚 Real Code: Fetches snippets from popular repos like TheAlgorithms, 30 Seconds of Code, and more.
  • ⚡ Instant Activation: Detects idleness (keyboard/mouse) and kicks in automatically.
  • 🛡️ Rate-Limit Safe: Smartly handles GitHub API limits by falling back to a built-in offline code pack.
  • 🎨 Customizable: Adjust typing speed, idle timeout, and specific repositories to fetch from.

⚙️ Configuration

You can customize the behavior in settings.json:

Setting Description Default
screenSaver.idleTimeSeconds Seconds of inactivity before activation 300 (5 min)
screenSaver.typingSpeed Typing speed (ms per char) 40
screenSaver.repositories.enabled Choose which repos to fetch code from All enabled

🤝 Development Journey

The entire development process for this extension was done in collaboration with Google Gemini. You can view the complete conversation and history in DEVELOPMENT_LOG.md.
