Take a quick brain break without leaving VS Code: learn and practise English grammar topic by topic, play Sudoku, timed Word Search, Nokia-style Snake and Bounce.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Short games inside VS Code, for when your brain needs a few minutes away from the bug.
Sudoku: mini 6×6 or classic 9×9, with a new daily puzzle and unlimited practice. Click a cell and type, or use the number buttons.
Word Search: 10 timed levels with coding themes (Git, databases, cloud and more). Drag across the letters to find each word before the clock runs out. Later levels hide words diagonally and backwards.
Grammar Practice: learn and practise English grammar topic by topic. 9 topics (parts of speech, articles, tenses, subject and verb, sentence making, questions and negatives, prepositions, confusing words and common mistakes), each with a short lesson (with a Hindi explanation), unlimited practice and a 10-question test. Four kinds of questions: fill in the blank, find the mistake, find the word, and build the sentence. Anything you get wrong goes into your mistake notebook so you can practise it again.
Snake: Nokia-style, on a retro LCD screen. Levels mode has 16 mazes: eat enough dots to clear each one and unlock the next, and grab the blinking bug for bonus points. Classic mode is endless, with no walls.
Bounce: a classic red-ball platformer. Roll and jump through 7 levels, collect every gold ring to open the exit, avoid spikes, and use springs and checkpoint flags.
Your best times and unlocked levels are saved.
Use it
Click Break in the status bar, or run Puzzle Break: Open from the Command Palette.
Optional: set puzzleBreak.reminderMinutes (for example 90) to get a gentle nudge after long coding stretches.
Privacy
Puzzle Break never connects to the internet, never reads your code or files, and only stores your game progress locally in VS Code.
