## What it is
vim-be-good is a Neovim plugin that turns practicing Vim movements into a set of mini-games, such as relative jumps, ci{, and whackamole. It is launched inside Neovim with the :VimBeGood command and is written in Lua.

## Use cases
- practice vim relative line jumps
- improve speed of vim motions
- learn ci{ and ci[ text-object edits
- train navigating to characters quickly
- gamify learning vim keybindings
- run a vim training game in docker

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want to build muscle memory for movements
- you want a fun, in-editor way to practice vim motions
- you want a lightweight plugin with no external dependencies

## When to avoid
- you use vanilla Vim instead of Neovim 5.x+
- you want polished, well-structured code or a stable API
- you need games with full difficulty support or many game modes
