🐣 Code Buddy — Linguist Tamagotchi

A highly interactive pixel-art virtual pet that lives in your VS Code sidebar. Your Code Buddy doesn't just sit there—it actively tracks your "Deep-Dev" coding lifestyle. It spends energy as you type, gets visibly dirty when your code has // TODOs or errors, and celebrates when you complete terminal tasks. It even has a Pomodoro Focus Mode!

✨ Features

📊 "Deep-Dev" Stats Tracking

• 🔋 Energy — Decreases as you type code. Restores massively when you make a Git Commit!
• 🧼 Hygiene — Decreases if you have active Linter Errors or unaddressed // TODO comments in your open file. Clean code makes a clean pet!
• 💖 Happiness — Decreases over time. Increases significantly when a Terminal Task (like a build or tests) finishes successfully.
• ✨ Leveling Up — Saving files grants XP. Rack up enough XP to Level Up and earn your CTO stripes!

🍅 Focus Mode (Pomodoro Timer)

Need to get in the zone?

• Click "Focus" to start a 25-minute Pomodoro timer directly under your pet.
• Your pet enters Flow State ("working" mood).
• Stat decay halts completely during focus mode.
• When the timer rings, you earn a massive +300 XP and a fully restored Happiness bar!

🎭 Language Costumes

Your pet dynamically changes its held item / costume depending on the active file's language:

💬 Pixel Art Speech Bubble

Code Buddy communicates with you via a responsive speech bubble:

• Warns you if you are coding past 11:00 PM (Burnout Alert 🌙).
• Reminds you to commit if Energy is low.
• Cheers you on when you level up.

🎭 Secret Easter Eggs

Find hidden interactions based on your workspace habits:

• Try reaching 1000 lines of code in a single file. (Monolith Check!)
• Try running a deploy/build task on a Friday between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
• Try naming your pet Neo or Matrix!
• Try spamming Cmd+S (Save) 5 times in 3 seconds. (Rage Quit Check!)
