Code Screams 🚀

The Ultimate Acoustic Coding Companion for VS Code

Tired of silently wondering why your build failed while you grab a coffee? Need some audible validation when you successfully create a new module? Code Screams turns your silent text editor into a highly interactive, responsive development environment!

By providing completely customizable acoustic feedback mapped directly to your workspace actions, Code Screams helps you stay hyper-focused and aware of the state of your project—without ever needing to check your toolbars or terminal logs.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Zero-Latency Audio Engine: Built on optimized native operating system APIs using sound-play, guaranteeing instant playback the millisecond an event triggers.
• 🎯 Real-Time Code Integrity Interception: Hooks directly into the VS Code Diagnostics Core. Whether you're writing Python, TypeScript, C++, or Rust, if the compiler detects a syntax error, you'll hear about it immediately.
• 📁 File System Tracking: Provides auditory feedback the moment a file is successfully created or heavily deleted.
• 🖥️ Terminal & Task Safety: Monitors your terminal and task runner for any non-zero exit codes or failures, letting you know instantly when tests or builds break.
• 🎵 100% Fully Customizable: Don't like our hand-picked curated sound effects? Easily map any absolute .mp3 path on your hard drive to trigger for any specific event using the built-in Settings UI.

🚀 How It Works

It's completely plug-and-play! Just install the extension and go back to what you do best.

1. Write code exactly as you normally do.
2. Make a typo.
3. VS Code's internal language server flags the error.
4. Hear the instant audio feedback. 🎉

Want to test your speakers without actually breaking anything? Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and run:
