Coder Supernova — VS Code Game
Turn everyday coding into fuel and motivation for a roguelike retro space exploration game.
Your code edits, commits, and bug fixes become the fuel that powers your ship on an epic space adventure, all without leaving VS Code.
Explore solar systems and fight alien fleets right inside VS Code.
🚀 Welcome, Pilot!
Coder Supernova is a gamified extension where your real development work drives an in-game journey:
- Code → Resources: Writing code, fixing diagnostics, and pushing commits generate Energy, Minerals, Credits, and Research.
- Explore the Stars: Travel through solar systems, terraform planets, mine asteroids, and salvage derelicts.
- Battle Enemies: Fight alien fleets in a break-and-boost, turn-based hacking system, where your coding fluency in different languages gives unique advantages.
- Progression: Even if your ship is destroyed, banked resources unlock new ships, and perks for future runs.
Track your Resource earnings as you code.
