Delightful Games Launches “VSCode Code Counter” — An Open Source Extension That Measures Code for Humans
Bethlehem, PA – October 14, 2025 — Delightful Games is proud to announce the launch of VSCode Code Counter , an open-source Visual Studio Code extension designed to measure code readability and complexity for human consumption — not just machines.
Unlike traditional line counters, VSCode Code Counter introduces emoji-based visual badges to represent code quality. Developers can set thresholds and choose their own emojis — 🚨, ⚠️, ✅, and more — to flag files based on readability, complexity, or maintainability.
“We built Code Counter to celebrate code quality, not just quantity,” said Jason Cooper, founder of Delightful Games. “It’s designed to help developers see their work as a living, readable creation rather than just a wall of text.”
Key Features
- 🔢 Counts lines of code, comments, and blank lines per file or folder.
- 🧩 Flags files with emoji badges according to customizable thresholds.
- ⚙️ Configure your own emojis, colors, and scoring rules.
- 🧠 Provides instant visual feedback on complexity and maintainability.
- 💻 Fully open source and community-driven at GitHub.
Where to Get It
Install directly from the Visual Studio Marketplace , or browse the full source on GitHub.
