Pets Veyra

A little friend for your coding day.

A cat, dog, fox, bunny or panda lives in your editor. They play ball, take naps, and cheer you on: a hop when you save, a worried look at new errors, and a party when you fix the last one.

FEATURES

They play. They nap. They cheer you on.

Five pets, many colours

Cats, dogs, foxes, bunnies and a panda, in fourteen colours. Name them whatever you like.

Pet them

Click a pet and it hops with little hearts. Hover to see its name.

Play ball

Click the sky to drop a ball, or drag to throw it, and watch everyone race for it.

A hop when you save

Every save gets a happy little jump and a sparkle.

Worried by errors

New errors? Your pets sit down and look worried, with a little “!” above them.

A party when they’re fixed

Fix the last error and everyone jumps for joy in a shower of stars.

Naps while you’re away

After a while without typing they curl up and sleep, and wake when you’re back.

Four places to live

A sunny meadow with drifting clouds, a starry night, the beach, or your theme’s own colours.

Light and private

They only move while you can see them, and nothing is sent anywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Pets Veyra is free and MIT licensed, with no account and no telemetry.

Where do the pets live?

In the Pets view at the bottom of the Explorer. Open them in a bigger panel from the view’s ⋯ menu, where they grow to fit.

Do they slow VS Code down?

No. They are drawn on one small canvas, and they only move while you can see them.

Can I turn off the reactions to my code?

Yes. Set veyraPets.reactToCode to false and they just play.

Is it the same as the VS Code Pets extension?

It is an independent extension. Every pet is drawn from scratch, and they react to your saves and errors.
