It should be what you're after... though Puzzles likely can help you as well!\n\n_Like this project?_ Leave a review [here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=michaelfromyeg.vscode-puzzle) or a star on [GitHub](https://github.com/michaelfromyeg/vscode-puzzle).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nHere's how to build _Puzzles_ into your daily coding practice routine.\n\n1. Download this extension!\n2. Create a folder for your solutions\n\n    ```shellscript\n    # For example...\n    cd ~\n    mkdir puzzles\n    cd puzzles\n    code .\n    ```\n\n3. Hit `CTRL + SHIFT + P`, type `puzzles` and select your problem of choice\n4. Get to solving!\n5. (Optional) Initialize a Git repository in your new folder and publish your work to GitHub!\n\nSee this in practice (and code along with me) [here](https://github.com/michaelfromyeg/puzzles)!\n\n## Features\n\nAs mentioned, _Puzzles_ currently supports problems from Reddit's [/r/dailyprogrammer](https://reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/), [Project Euler](https://projecteuler.net/), [Coding Bat](https://codingbat.com/java), and [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com). It fetches a user-specified or random problem for any of those three sites, creates a folder, and stores both a Markdown file with the problem description and creates a `.[py|js|ts|java|cpp]` file for you to begin your solution. For Advent of Code, it also has the ability to fetch your problem input.\n\nAn outline of planned features is below!\n\n### Roadmap\n\nHere's my plan for near-future development:\n\n- [x] Support other programming language starters\n- [ ] Make starters better. Include unit test templates, for example\n- [ ] Support Cracking the Coding Interview problems\n- [ ] Create a custom, curated list of coding problems to use for this extension\n\n## Requirements\n\nNone required! Note that Puzzles does create folders and files though, so you'll likely want to create a separate workspace on your computer for your work.\n\n## Extension Settings\n\n~~In the future, there will be an option to set your preferred solving language~~. You can \"Set Default Language\" command.\n\n## Known Issues\n\n~~Currently, the extension is a bit... shaky. There is a plan to stop scraping soon and add a better data source~~. If you experience any issues at all, open an [issue](https://github.com/michaelfromyeg/vscode-puzzle/issues) or reach out via [email](mailto:michaelfromyeg@gmail.com?subject=%5BPuzzles%5D) for support!\n\n## Release Notes\n\nThis project was originally being part at Microsoft's VS Code hackathon.
