freshers.dev

Sign in with GitHub and play the freshers.dev daily career roguelike without leaving VS Code.

Every day, everyone gets the same event seed: make a few questionable engineering choices, chase hype, dodge burnout, and see where your fictional developer career ends up.

Features

• Uses VS Code's built-in GitHub sign-in to build your freshers.dev card.
• Opens your GitHub-derived daily run in a dedicated VS Code editor panel.
• Keeps the game alive when the panel is hidden.
• Uses the same daily seed as the web game, so the run is comparable with the site leaderboard.
• Includes an Open site button when you want the full browser version.
• Does not read, write, index, or send any workspace files.

Usage

1. Open the Command Palette.
2. Run Freshers: Play Daily Career Run.
3. Approve GitHub sign-in when VS Code asks.
4. Play the daily run inside VS Code.

Local extension development

freshers.gameUrl

Production installs always use:

https://freshers.dev/vscode/play?surface=vscode

When running the extension in an Extension Development Host, you can point it at your local app:

{
  "freshers.gameUrl": "http://localhost:3000/vscode/play"
}

Privacy

This extension is a thin VS Code wrapper around freshers.dev. It opens the hosted game in a Webview and does not access your workspace files.

The extension asks VS Code for a GitHub read:user session. freshers.dev uses that identity to build your public GitHub card and record your game run.
