EssentialExtension

Inspiration

While thinking about ideas, we thought about event that we would find really funny (and potentially destructive) if happening while we were programming on Visual Studio Code. We were also interested in programming in TypeScript and never made a Visual Studio Code extension before.

What it does

EssentialExtension will "enhance" your coding experience on Visual Studio Code through:

• Giving you very helpful comments to help remind the purpose of your code
• Allowing your cursor to slip up sometimes
• Fixing square brackets
• Fixing the delete button
• Fixing the bottom row of the keyboard
• Giving you deep, profound answers through our 8-ball system

How we built it

We built it using the Visual Studio Code API and Type Script

Challenges we ran into

Learning how to use the Visual Studio Code API to make the extension and also having to repeat a lot of code in order for it to work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a full extension with many features

What we learned

We learned how to create a Visual Studio Code extension and their API. We also learned how to use TypeScript which we've never used before. The theme of this hackathon also made us think of an idea differently.

What's next for EssentialExtension

We are considering learning how to make this extension in other IDEs such as in sublime text, pycharm, and so on. We will also try to add more random events.
