Building a Mini Basketball Game as a VS Code Extension

I've always wanted to build my own game. Recently, I started learning game development. My first experimental project is a VS Code extension called Swipe Hoop.

It's a basketball mini-game you can play inside VS Code. I wanted to call it "Swipe Basketball" but due to VS Code Marketplace review policies, I couldn't use words like "basketball" or "game" in the extension's name.

It’s a small experiment, but it was surprisingly fun to build.

You can install the extension through Marketplace or just search Swipe Hoop in VS Code. Hope you enjoy the game!
