❓ FAQ
Does this work with Python / JavaScript / Java / Go / Rust / any language?
Yes! The extension monitors terminal output and exit codes — it's completely language-agnostic. If your code runs in the VS Code terminal, it works.
Can I use my own sounds?
Absolutely. Select "Custom file..." from any sound dropdown, or use the command Meme Compiler: Browse Custom Sound File to pick any .mp3 or .wav from your computer.
Does this work on Linux or macOS?
Currently Windows only (uses PowerShell for audio playback). Cross-platform support (macOS via afplay, Linux via paplay/aplay) is planned for a future release.
My sounds aren't playing — what's wrong?
Make sure Terminal Shell Integration is enabled (it's on by default in VS Code 1.93+). Go to Settings → Terminal › Integrated › Shell Integration: Enabled and verify it's checked.
Do sounds overlap each other?
No. Only one sound plays at a time. When a new sound triggers, the previous one stops instantly.
Can I disable it temporarily?
Yes — toggle memeCompiler.enabled to false in Settings, or set individual sounds to "No sound".
📌 Requirements
- VS Code 1.93.0 or newer
- Terminal Shell Integration enabled (default in recent VS Code versions)
- Windows (Linux and macOS support coming soon)
