Description
Please describe your idea.
I'd like to add a Monkey pet to VS Code Pets! But with an optional twist - it could sync with ForkMonkey, a project where monkeys evolve daily via AI.
Core proposal (Phase 1):
- Regular monkey pet with color variants (brown, golden, gray, purple)
- Standard animations: idle, walk, run, chase, with_ball
- Works like any other pet - no special features required
Optional enhancement (Phase 2, separate PR):
- Users who have a ForkMonkey GitHub repo could link it
- Monkey appearance would reflect their repo's DNA traits
- Evolution notifications when their monkey changes overnight
Describe how the idea would be helpful
- Monkeys are fun! - A beloved animal that fits the pet collection
- First "living" pet - Optional GitHub sync would make it evolve over time
- GitHub community tie-in - Connects coding with the pet experience
What I'll provide:
- β Pixel art sprites (8fps GIFs, matching existing style)
- β All TypeScript implementation
- β Translations
- β Tests
Questions before I start:
- Is a basic monkey pet something you'd accept?
- Would the optional GitHub-sync feature be too complex/out of scope?
- Any art style guidance?

Happy to start with just the basic monkey if the sync feature is too much! π΅
