Learned vim with a game like this. It was a vscode extension, I don’t remember what it was called.

Anyway it’s easily the best time investment I’ve ever made, period. Takes a couple days of messing around, and you can basically never leave modal editing behind! It’s just so much better. I’m still not even a vim master. Just the basic motions and commands are enough to never want to give em up. Throw macros and registers on top… delicious.

Also without vim I never would have tried helix, which is just absolutely the smoothest and most frictionless editing ever. Very minimal setup, too

Searching for "vim game" this is the only thing I found:

Vscode Vim Academy

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kaisun.v...

Does that look like what you used?

ok actually upon closer inspection, the extension was not a game, just a "learn vim" type of thing. I think I got it mixed up with a vim game I found online.
