What it does

theme

The look of BLOCKBUSTER 767's screens, in one place: the palette, the typefaces, the metrics every screen sizes itself from, and the style fragments the cards share.

local Theme = require("game.ui.theme")
local m = Theme.metrics()
{ type = "label", style = { fontSize = m.fs.title, fontFamily = Theme.font.display, color = Theme.color.cream } }

The metrics rule

Nothing is a pixel number chosen for one screen. Theme.metrics() reads the live ui.screenSize() and derives everything from it:

  • Type and rhythm are a share of the SHORTER side, so a phone held either way and a television read the same.
  • Both are additionally capped against the HEIGHT. A card is a column, and a wide screen is also a short one; without that cap the card that fits a 3:4 frame runs off the bottom of a 16:9 one.
  • The two big pictures — hero (the toy on a card) and strip (the skyline along its foot) — are budgeted straight out of the height they have to fit in.
  • cardW caps a card to a readable single column instead of letting it stretch across a wide monitor.

Theme.metricsFor(w, h) computes the same table for a shape the engine is not currently running at — which is how a card is laid out and looked at for a screen other than the one in front of you.

The palette

Warm shadow, painted wood, poster paint on the toy, crayon accents, and the gold of a sticker star. Theme.color names them; Theme.font names the four voices (a poster face for the logo, a heavy face for headings, a plain face for reading, a mono for numbers, and the round childlike face the Kid speaks in).

The fragments

cardBackdrop (the playroom wash a card is printed on; its see argument is the share of the ROOM that shows through, and the scrim's opacity is 1 - see), panel (a raised surface with a lit top rim), row (a menu row at rest or with the focus on it), chip (the small rounded plastic label a keycap, a pad glyph and a touch hint are all made of), stat (a number with its name under it), and the three motions: enterDrop, enterRise, pulse.

Nothing here animates for ever, and pulse breathes on opacity alone. A keyframe that animates transform: scale re-measures the widget's box every frame, which relays out the whole tree it sits in; two HUD widgets each held one of those permanently and one frame in ten was over budget because of it. pulse(iterations) counts — eight breaths by default — so even the opacity animation ends.

No entrance starts from nothing. An entrance holds its first keyframe until its delay elapses and the UI clock is the game clock, so a card opened while something is holding engine.timeScale down would sit on that first frame. They start dimmed and slightly displaced instead, so the worst a stalled clock can do is leave a card looking a shade soft.

Interface

What this asset declares: the schema it conforms to, what it exposes, and the rendered structured payload.

conforms to

zero/source-extract/v2

strict

metricsFor(w: number, h: number) → Metrics

Every size the screens draw with, for a screen of a stated shape. The live path is `Theme.metrics()`; this form is what lets a card be laid out and looked at for a shape the engine is not currently running at.

argtypedescription
wnumberScreen width in logical points.
hnumberScreen height in logical points.

examples

local wide = Theme.metricsFor(1920, 1080)

metrics( ) → Metrics

Every size the screens draw with, derived from the LIVE screen size. Call it each time a tree is built; it is cheap, and it is the only place a number is turned into pixels.

examples

local m = Theme.metrics()

cardBackdrop(m: Metrics, see: number?) → any

The warm playroom ground every card is printed on: a low window-light wash from the upper left over a deep shadow, with a vignette closing the corners the way a tilt-shift lens does. `see` is the SHARE OF THE ROOM that shows through, 0 (nothing — the solid card) to 1 (a bare vignette). The scrim's opacity is `1 - see`, so a card that wants the table behind it names how much of it it wants rather than picking an alpha; anything at or below 0 is the solid card the title used to be. `nil` is the solid card.

panel(m: Metrics, accent: string?) → any

A raised panel on the card: a step lighter than the ground, a lit top rim, and a soft drop under it.

argtypedescription
mMetrics

row(m: Metrics, lit: boolean) → any

One menu row, at rest or with the focus on it. `lit` is what the pad, the keyboard and the pointer all agree is selected.

mMetrics
litboolean

chip(m: Metrics, spec: ChipSpec) → any

A chip: the one small rounded plastic label every hint on a card is drawn as. A keycap, a pad glyph and a touch instruction differ only in their colours and their corner, so they are one shape with three sets of arguments rather than three near-identical builders.

argtypedescription
mMetrics

stat(m: Metrics, id: string, label: string, value: string) → any

One number on a card with its name under it — the shape the pause card and the end card both count with.

enterDrop(delay: number, distance: number) → any

An entrance holds its FIRST keyframe until its delay elapses, and the UI clock is the game clock — so a card opened while something else is holding `engine.timeScale` down would sit on that first frame. No entrance here therefore starts from nothing: they start dimmed and slightly displaced, so the worst a stalled clock can do is leave a card looking a shade soft. An entrance that drops a card in and settles it. Stagger `delay` across siblings to make them cascade.

enterRise(delay: number, distance: number) → any

An entrance that slides a row up into place.

pulse(iterations: number?) → any

A slow breathing pulse for a prompt that is waiting on the player. It breathes on OPACITY alone and it COUNTS. A keyframe that animates `transform: scale` re-measures the widget's box every frame, which is a Taffy relayout of the whole tree it sits in — measured on this game as one frame in ten over budget while the launch prompt and the chain badge each held one forever. Opacity does not change a box, and a finite count means even that stops: eight breaths is twelve seconds of "waiting on you", which is longer than any prompt here goes unanswered.

argtypedescription

module · born here
❒asset
# rules The cross-slice constants of BLOCKBUSTER 767 — read-only, and the contract between any two parts of the game that have to agree on a number. - `TABLE` — where the play surface is and where its edges are. - `LAUNCH` — the launcher's position, how far the heading and elevation trim, and the wind band: how long a notch takes, how many there are, and what the red zone past the last one costs. - `CITY` — the band of table the skyline stands in, its seed, and the landmarks. - `PHYS` — masses, speed caps, the debris governor, the settle threshold and the margin a measured joint break force is multiplied by. - `SCORE` — what a shoved block, a toppled tower and a block off the table pay, the chain window, the landmark and called-shot multipliers, and the star thresholds. - `SESSION` — three planes, the round clock, the rest and wreck beats. - `STATES` / `EVENTS` — the only state names and event names the game uses; a typo in either raises at the call rather than going quietly nowhere. - `LAYOUT` — the bands every screen anchors into, as shares of the viewport. Units are metres, kilograms and seconds. The table top is `y = 0`; `+Z` is downrange, so the plane launches at `LAUNCH.z` and flies toward the city. A number only one slice reads lives in that slice's own files, not here. Consumed by every slice.

Did the part work as advertised when consumers tried to drop it in. Separate from upvotes: those are taste; this is "did it function".
