Code Visualizer

Code Visualizer is a VS Code extension that provides an interactive, WebGL-based visualization of your codebase architecture. It helps developers understand complex codebases by visualizing code relationships, dependencies, and structure in an intuitive 3D interface.

Features

• Interactive 3D Visualization: Explore your code architecture through an immersive WebGL-powered visualization using Three.js
• Real-time Code Analysis: Automatically detects changes in your codebase and updates the visualization
• Dependency Mapping: Visualizes relationships between files, functions, and modules
• Advanced Navigation: Intuitive controls for zooming, panning, and rotating the visualization
• Customizable Views: Filter and highlight specific elements to focus on areas of interest
• Performance Optimized: Efficiently handles large codebases with minimal performance impact

Requirements

• VS Code 1.85.0 or higher
• WebGL-capable browser environment
