Pet Buddies

Created by Elif Ece Mercan & Özgün Deniz Akbay

A cute pixel-art cat that lives in your VS Code Explorer panel. It walks back and forth on the grass while soft clouds drift above. If your code has errors and you pause for a while, the cat starts to cry — until you get back to coding.

Features

• A pixel-art cat that walks back and forth on a grassy ground
• Soft clouds drifting in the sky
• Flowers scattered along the grass
• The cat cries (with tears) when your active file has errors (red squiggles) and you've been idle for about 10 seconds. This is based on the errors shown in your code editor — not on running your code or reading the terminal.
• The cat goes back to walking as soon as you interact with your code again

How to use

After installing, open the Explorer panel. You'll find a "Pet Buddies" section next to OUTLINE and TIMELINE. Your cat lives there.
