What it does

Menus

Every card THE EIGHTH KETYL puts between the player and the still: the title card, the how-to-play card, the pause card, and the two end cards — the still sealed, and the eighth quenched.

Every tree here is a pure function of state. Hand it the game's state and the focused item and it returns a widget tree. Nothing in it reads input, runs the game or holds state of its own; the Screens component owns all of that and this module only knows how a card should look.

Layout. Every number comes from the live screen through Kit: the content width is a fraction of the real frame and the type is a fraction of the shorter edge. There is no pixel constant. Two cards genuinely reflow rather than scale — the title card and the end cards put the drawn column beside the words on a wide frame and above them on a tall one, and the how-to card becomes two columns on a wide frame so its six controls and four steps fit a 16:9 television without being cut.

A flex column that centres its children makes them hug their content, so a paragraph inside one collapses to a glyph per line. Everything here therefore sits in a column of a KNOWN width and centres its text with textAlign.

What it provides

  • Menus.title(opts) — the column, the game's name, and the two ways in.
  • Menus.howto(opts) — what you are, what one plate asks of you, and every control on a keyboard, a pad and a touchscreen at once. It draws the pad legends the CONNECTED pad prints rather than assuming an Xbox one.
  • Menus.pause(opts) — laid over the held game rather than replacing it.
  • Menus.sealed(opts) / Menus.quenched(opts) — the win and the loss, each with the column drawn in its final state and the run's numbers.
  • Menus.item(id, text, note, tone) — one focusable row: the focus target, the click target and the touch target at once, with a ring you can see.
  • Menus.eyebrow, Menus.itemList, Menus.familiesFooter.

Who consumes it

zero/source-extract/v2

Menus — the title card, the how-to-play card, the pause card and the two end cards of THE EIGHTH KETYL. Every tree here is a pure function of state: hand it the game's state and the focused item and it returns a widget tree. Nothing in it reads input, runs the game or holds state of its own — the Screens component owns all of that. LAYOUT RULE. Every number is derived from the LIVE ui.screenSize() through metrics() below — the content width is a fraction of the real frame and the type is a fraction of the shorter edge (Still.sz). There is no pixel constant: the filmed shape is 1080x1440, and the same card has to land on a phone held either way, a laptop and a television. The one thing that reflows rather than scaling is the relationship between the drawn column and the words beside it, which Kit.portrait() decides. A flex column that centres its children makes them hug their content, so a paragraph inside one collapses to a glyph per line. Everything here therefore sits in a column of a KNOWN width and centres its text with textAlign.

metrics( ) → Metrics

wordWidth( ) → number

The widest a string of `n` characters gets at a given size, near enough to pick a type size that fits the frame instead of running off the side of it. The width of the column the words stand in: the whole card on a tall screen, half of it on a wide one, where the still drawn in elevation takes the other half. Every card measures its type, its rows and its rule against this rather than against the card, or the words overflow the column they sit in.

noteSize(note: string, fitWidth: number?, u: number) → number

The monospaced note under a menu row. A fixed-pitch face is close to 0.62 em a character, so this one measures honestly; it only shrinks when the column is too narrow for the sentence.

tallArtShare(m: Metrics, base: number) → number

The drawn column, sized so it always fits the frame it is standing in: the art is 240x620, so its height decides its width and neither can overflow. How much of the height the still in elevation may take on a TALL card. The type on these cards is sized off the shorter screen edge, so a screen barely taller than it is wide sets it as large as a much taller screen would while having less room to put it in, and the tail of the card — the last row, the footer — runs off the bottom. The art gives that room back: it keeps its full share on a 3:4 screen and shrinks towards square.

stat(caption: string, value: string, tint: string, width: number) → void

⌬ Metadata
descriptionThe title, how-to-play, pause and two end cards of THE EIGHTH KETYL as pure widget-tree builders — a visible focus ring on every row, pad legends read from the connected controller, and a layout that reflows between a tall phone and a wide television instead of scaling.

Focus
module · born here
❒asset
# Focus Menu focus navigation for the cards of GREASEPAINT. A controller has no pointer, so every menu carries an ordered ring of focusable ids and exactly one of them is lit; this module walks that ring. - `Focus.open(list, prefer)` — open a menu: the ids in stick order, and which starts lit. - `Focus.axis(v, dt)` — feed the `navigate` axis; one flick is one step, a held stick repeats. - `Focus.point(id)` — a mouse crossing a row or a finger tapping it moves the focus there. - `Focus.id()` / `Focus.isFocused(id)` — read it. - `Focus.close()` — nothing is focused until the next `open`. - `Focus.release()` — let go of a held direction, so a stick held through a transition does not keep walking. The ring is whatever the card offers, so an interval with three faces and a fourth row is a ring of four and needs nothing said about it here: `open` takes the list `screens.itemIds` returns for the phase. A held stick repeats on a delay measured in seconds AND in frames. On a machine running long frames a single flick can be one frame carrying half a second of `dt`, and a delay measured only in time turns that flick into two steps. Fed by `game/input/console.inputMap`; consumed by `game.ui.Screens`, which asks it which row to draw lit.

Kit
module · born here
❒asset
# Kit The design system every screen in THE EIGHTH KETYL is drawn with: one palette taken from `Still.palette`, one type ramp on two faces, one set of box recipes, and the drawn art the game's cards are built around. **Why it exists.** Six agents authored this world at once. A screen looks like part of the same object as the last one only if the colour, the type, the corner radius, the hairline and the panel recipe all come from one place. This is that place. **The unit.** Everything is measured in `Kit.sz(frac)` — a fraction of the SHORTER screen edge, read live. There is no pixel constant in any screen: the game is published to a phone held either way, a laptop, a wide monitor and a television at once, and the filmed shape is 1080x1440. `Kit.screen()` is the one accessor that answers "what shape is the frame", and `Kit.setPreviewSize(w, h)` makes it answer something else for a moment — how a portrait build gets checked against a television without a second engine. **The two faces mean different things.** `Kit.SERIF` (EBGaramond) is the laboratory's own voice — titles, the chemist, prose. `Kit.MONO` (JetBrainsMono) is the instrument's — readouts, numbers, labels. A UI label selects a face by the `.font` ASSET name; the shaper family name renders as the default sans. ## What it provides - `Kit.c`, `Kit.alpha(hex, a)`, `Kit.surface` — the palette and the dark-UI surfaces, which read from a step in lightness and a lit top edge rather than from a black shadow. - `Kit.serif(frac, color, extra)` / `Kit.mono(...)` — the type ramp. - `Kit.label` / `Kit.para` / `Kit.col` / `Kit.row` / `Kit.gap` / `Kit.svg` / `Kit.rule` — the box vocabulary. - `Kit.panelStyle(extra)` — the recessed instrument panel every card sits on. - `Kit.backdropStyle(tint, scrim)` / `Kit.vignette()` — the sealed interior a menu is drawn against; a scrim below 1 leaves the held game visible behind. - `Kit.columnArt(opts)` — the still in elevation: eight plates, brass rims, mucus on the glass, and the ketyl on the plate it is standing on. The title card, both end cards and the storefront all use it. - `Kit.ketylMark(tint)` / `Kit.blennomaMark(alive)` — the game's monogram and a single mucous lobe. - `Kit.keycap` / `Kit.padcap` / `Kit.touchcap` — a key, a pad button and a thumb, so a control is shown on all three device families rather than named on one. - `Kit.meter(opts)` — a labelled instrument meter with a segmented bar. ## Who consumes it `ui.Menus`, `ui.Hud` and the `Screens` component. Nothing outside the presentation slice depends on it, and it depends on nothing but `Still`.
