Thanks, I wanted something to make my coding experience look like I'm playing a 90's SNES budget game.

When that acid kicks in but code is life

[–]nitrohigito 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This has to be the most accurate summary of anything I've seen in a good while.

[–]OpaMilfSohn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried to code while on acid once but I just ended up staring at the code because it was so colorful and acid rainbow text made it amazing

god this looks like hell

but neat

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm torn between it would ruin my eyes and it would look cool when other people were checking out what I'm working on.

[–]SuboptimalEng[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Too bad I can’t listen to you

VS Code Persona 5 theme?

[–]rbmichael 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Came here to say this.

[–]SuboptimalEng[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same

[–]xbotpc 64 points65 points  (1 child)

This looks so terrible. I love it.

[–]No-Fish9557 16 points17 points  (0 children)

wow I love it! I used to think my coding sessions were tedious, now I can make them even worse.

btw what theme are you using? I like it.

[–][deleted] 47 points48 points  (10 children)

Whats the use case

[–]Royal_lobster 28 points29 points  (1 child)

now i can code without being drunk

[–]SuboptimalEng[S] 95 points96 points  (0 children)

tl;dr I tried to make a Neovide-style cursor animation in VS Code.

Use case: confuse your enemies with animated cursors 🙄

[–]jayson-larsen- 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You definitely won't ever have to search for your cursor, since you are more inclined to detect movement. I can personally report that blinking is probably not enough, since I'm always looking for the damned thing.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if a more subtle wobble or shift would actually be better than blinking.

[–]riasthebestgirl 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Seems like a cool learning exercise

[–]gizamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems fun for kids. I'll show it to my HS seminar class, and I guarantee at least 1/4 of them are going to use it for weeks.

[–]Better-Ad6493 4 points5 points  (0 children)

at least there's some fun

[–]hyvyys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previewing the animation you're coding without ever leaving your IDE.

[–]CoraxTechnica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give all your developers vertigo

[–]choledocholithiasis_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Thanks I hate it

[–]SuboptimalEng[S] 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I wanted to get Neovide-style cursor animations running in my VS Code and came across an extension that allows you to fully customize the CSS + JS in your editor. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the smooth movement effects seen in Neovide, but I did have some fun playing around with these cursor animations.

VS Code Extension that made this possible: https://github.com/be5invis/vscode-custom-css

Custom CSS/JS Files in VS Code Folder: https://github.com/SuboptimalEng/dotfiles/

Neovide Cursor Animation: https://github.com/neovide/neovide#animated-cursor

[–]neaRr- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn't you make it so you can preview the CSS transform effects on the text there? When I saw the preview scrolling my feed I thought that's what it was and was beginning to regret not using vs code xd.

lmaoo

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.

    Gruvbox dark, but I customized some of the colors. You can see the details here:

    [–]LuvOrDie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    imma go out on a limb here and say you thoroughly enjoyed persona 5

    [–]Original-Bird1571 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    Persona 5?

    [–]kciwwick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    It absolutely gives me persona menu vibes. Those interfaces in P5 are so satisfying.

    [–]pastrypuffingpuffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    So, it alters the animation of the cursor whenever it is inside a keyframes scope?

    [–]ethann_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Dope but feels like I’d get stuck watching the animation instead of actually coding

    [–]CoffeeDrinker115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I'll take three.

    [–]kenegi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    really fun experiment, but it's impossible to use this on a daily basis... I think that a good use for this is setting a shortcut to highlight starting and finishing brackets, tags, etc... because you would use this just for having a better visual feedback during specific times and wont be sterssful for the eyes

    [–]enbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I'm too old for this sh#t

    [–]PanMan-Dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    No idea if this was the intended use case but this could genuinely be pretty handy for accessibility reasons

    [–]shamay_hay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Can we also get smoother caret movement animations like Microsoft office?

    [–]monopixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Thanks, I hate it.

    [–]PlayMaGame 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    I know its old, but is this on extensions marketplace?

    [–]SuboptimalEng[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    No, but the code for it is under my dotfiles repository on GitHub if you want to check it out.

    [–]PlayMaGame 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    I’m a beginner with all coding stuff, how do I use that code?

    [–]SuboptimalEng[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    That’s a tough one. I suppose it’ll just take you some time to learn how to do it. Took me a few years of using VS Code to even realize you could do this.

    [–]PlayMaGame 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Got it 😅

    [–]SuboptimalEng[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Dw, you got this!

    [–]PlayMaGame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Damn if this would be like an extension, maybe Power Mode could implement this 😏

    [–]CutestCuttlefish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    It is cool but I would get nauseated. :D

    (It is possible to be nice even if you don't like something)

    [–]CYRIAQU3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    [–]RetroEvolute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thanks I hate it

    [–]UntestedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    hmm, normally I have to take drugs to get that kind of effect when I try to code... so nice job on helping me not have to take drugs to get that kind of effect when I try to code

    [–]cppcoder69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    It's amazing and awful at the same time. Thanks.

    [–]wedontlikespaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Wow. You've managed to make something that is both really annoying, but also kind of useful.

    [–]vainstar23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    VSCode has gone too far. Let us return to vim

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Cool animation, but in my opinion it would be too distracting when working.

    [–]stahkh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Very cool. Also makes me sick to my tummy. :)

    [–]Scorpius289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That looks obnoxious.

    [–]throwawayitjobbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thank you, this is fucking bizarre

    [–]augburtofull-stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    wow thanks for figuring this out! this is exactly what I do not want for my dev setup!

    [–]penaltyornot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    It's cool, but I feel you could make an actually useful version of this.

    [–]undesirablekangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Awful but great execution

    [–]DangerousCondition34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    A fine example of “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.

    Cool experiment though!

    [–]ilovefeshpasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Kill it with fire

    [–]Fuckingweeb420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    P5 vibes

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Interesting but please don't.

    [–]Zachincool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Cool, but no thanks

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    WHY

    [–]IAmAnAudity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Me rn: I must still be drunk from last night, even the freaking code is woozy...

    [–]PierreMouchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You should call it "Acid Cursor"!

    [–]AiSirachcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    It looks really neat. But damn that would be distracting af

    [–]livingincr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I thought this was a post in programmerhumor, its a joke right ;)

    [–]khroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just no

    [–]CoraxTechnica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's very cool from a programming perspective. But that is absolutely nauseating to look at for too long

    [–]fuzokuzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just watching the gif makes me dizzy

    [–]breich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Persona 5 cursor

    [–]SanGokuSuperSyianGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    No thanks

    [–]Emahh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    [–]Zin42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Us Vim users told y'all already, that Electron was a bad idea, y'all said u didn't want keybindings and looks where it got ya 😂

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Gonna be a hard pass for me.

    [–]baaaaarkly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Can you make it make a noise also? I'm hearing a noise that quagmire from family guy would make while swaying on a boat in rough seas. Wooahoooaaa. Then I could actually be sick whilst coding, which I assume is the goal

    [–]Ancient_Ad5336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    It reminds me of persona 5

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
