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

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.
