CodeType

Type code for fun while vibe coding.
A VS Code game that looks like a normal tab and keeps score.


Why CodeType?

CodeType turns real code into a fast, playful game inside VS Code. It opens as a normal-looking file tab (like solo.ts or team.ts) so you can squeeze in a round during vibe coding sessions without leaving your editor.

Features

  • Stealth tab names and editor-like UI
  • Real code snippets from your workspace or curated samples
  • Solo and Team rooms with invite codes
  • Local stats, streaks, and best WPM; sign in to sync and rank globally
  • Themes and optional typing sounds
  • Quick launch with Cmd+Shift+T / Ctrl+Shift+T

Install

  • VS Code Marketplace: search for "CodeType" and install
  • Command line:
code --install-extension codetype.codetype

Play

  1. Open the Command Palette and run CodeType: Play Game.
  2. Choose Solo or Team.
  3. Type the snippet and chase higher WPM and accuracy.

Scoring

  • WPM: characters typed / 5 / minutes elapsed
  • Accuracy: correct keystrokes / total keystrokes

Built for developers who want a fast game between builds.
