The Roast of Nature Clicker
The Roast of Nature Clicker. In this episode of Scripting for Artists, Sybren roasts another add-on. The focus is on simplifying code without altering what it does (too much), in order to avoid frying your brain while reading it.
The add-on can be found at https://github.com/OliverJPost/NatureClicker with its video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OmCKu4YLDw

Sybren, this "roasting" concept was fabulous. As you can see, I'm reading this in 2024. It doesn't get old. Please do more of them!
Did you import the Blender library in VSC or how come you don't get any error reports when using for example the "import bpy"
Edit: I made it work for me too. I followed this guide: https://b3d.interplanety.org/en/using-microsoft-visual-studio-code-as-external-ide-for-writing-blender-scripts-add-ons/
*@Anže Orehek* I got no error reports because I didn't install anything smart. It's just showing syntax highlighting, nothing more.
