CodeType

Type code for fun while vibe coding.

A typing game that lives inside VS Code. It opens as a normal-looking file tab so you can squeeze in a quick round between builds without leaving your editor.

Features

Stealth Mode — The game disguises itself as a regular code file (solo.ts, team.ts) so it blends right into your workspace.

Real Code Snippets — Practice typing actual code from your own workspace or choose from curated samples across multiple languages.

Solo & Team Play — Play alone to beat your personal best, or create a room and invite teammates with a share code for live multiplayer races.

Stats & Streaks — Track your WPM, accuracy, and daily streaks locally. Sign in to sync your progress and compete on global leaderboards.

Themes — Choose from three themes: Stealth, Minimal, or Hacker.

Typing Sounds — Optional keyboard sounds for extra immersion.

Quick Start

  1. Press Cmd+Shift+T (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+T (Windows/Linux)
  2. Choose Solo or Team
  3. Start typing and chase a higher WPM

Or open the Command Palette and run CodeType: Play Game.
