**TL;DR:** VS Code extension that gives each Claude Code agent its own animated pixel art character in a virtual office. Free, open source, a bit silly, and mostly built because I thought it would look cool. Hey everyone! I have this idea that the future of agentic UIs might look more like a videogame than an IDE. Projects like [AI Town](https://github.com/a16z-infra/ai-town) proved how cool it is to see agents as characters in a physical space, and to me that feels much better than just staring at walls of terminal text. However, we might not be ready to ditch terminals and IDEs completely just yet, so I built a bridge between them: a VS Code extension that turns your Claude Code agents into animated pixel art characters in a virtual office. Each character walks around, sits at a desk, and visually reflects what the agent is actually doing. Writing code? The character types. Searching files? It reads. Waiting for your input? A speech bubble pops up. Sub-agents get their own…
