Terminal Meme Error Sounds 🎵💥

Plays random meme sounds whenever a terminal command fails in VS Code.

Because errors deserve dramatic reactions.

🚀 Features

🔊 Plays a random meme sound when:

A terminal command exits with non-zero status

Terminal output matches common error patterns

A task fails (build/test/npm/etc.)

A terminal closes with a failure code

🎲 Random sound selection

⏱️ Debounce protection to prevent spam

⚙️ Configurable in VS Code settings

🧪 Manual test command included

🎯 How It Works

The extension listens to:

onDidEndTerminalShellExecution

onDidStartTerminalShellExecution

onDidEndTaskProcess

onDidCloseTerminal

When a failure is detected, it:

Selects a random sound from /media/sounds

Plays it using native OS playback

Logs diagnostics to a dedicated output channel
