What it does

hud

The instruments the player reads while the tower goes up, and the caption strip the Warden's spoken lines print on.

local Hud = require("game.screens.hud")
ui.registerScreen("flb_hud", Hud.tree(T.metrics(), view), 20)
ui.registerScreen("flb_hud_touch", Hud.controls(T.metrics()), 300)
ui.registerScreen("flb_caption", Hud.caption(T.metrics(), text, alpha), 40)
BuilderWhat it draws
Hud.tree(m, view)Two gradient scrims, the dawn meter down the left edge with the four watches marked, the course readout and true-seat streak in the top-left, the crane's prompt near the bottom, and the two beats that flash — a true seat and a watch.
Hud.controls(m)The HUD's own tap targets. Its own screen, because they have to ride above the engine's on-screen touch-control overlay.
Hud.caption(m, text, alpha)The written form of whatever the Warden just said.
Hud.skyAt(t)The colour the sky wears at a reading of dawn, so the meter's head and the sky agree.

Portrait first, and still right when wide

Nothing here spans the frame. The meter runs DOWN the left edge, the readout stacks in a corner, the prompt is one centred line. Every position is a fraction of the live ui.screenSize(), so on a wide screen the meter is simply shorter and the column narrower — no number in this file was chosen for one shape.

Interface

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

conforms to

zero/source-extract/v2

hud — the instruments the player reads while the tower goes up, and the caption strip the Warden's spoken lines print on. Portrait is the filmed shape, so nothing here spans the frame: the dawn meter runs DOWN the left edge, the course readout stacks in the top-left corner, the pause target sits in the top-right, and the crane's prompt is a single centred line near the bottom. Every one of those is anchored to the live `ui.screenSize()`, so the same rules hold on a wide screen — the meter is simply shorter and the column narrower. local Hud = require("game.screens.hud") ui.registerScreen("flb_hud", Hud.tree(T.metrics(), view)) Owned by the presentation slice.

skyAt(t: number) → string

The colour the sky is wearing at this reading of `dawn` — the head of the meter's fill, so the instrument and the sky agree.

pauseTarget(m: Metrics) → any

The pause target is a real `button`, because that is the widget the pointer actually dispatches from — and it is sized generously so a thumb finds it.

tree(m: Metrics, view: View) → any

The whole HUD as one tree: the dawn meter, the course readout, the pause target, the crane's prompt and the two beats that flash.

mMetricsThe metrics table.
viewViewThe view model `Screens.component` builds each frame.

examples

ui.registerScreen("flb_hud", Hud.tree(T.metrics(), view), 20)

controls(m: Metrics) → any

The HUD's own touch targets, as their own screen. They ride ABOVE the engine's on-screen touch-control overlay, which takes a contact anywhere on the glass and leaves anything under it untappable while a mouse click on the same pixel still lands.

argtypedescription
mMetricsThe metrics table.

examples

ui.registerScreen("flb_hud_touch", Hud.controls(T.metrics()), 300)

caption(m: Metrics, text: string, alpha: number) → any

The caption strip: the written form of whatever the Warden just said, so a spoken line survives a mute, a noisy room and a failed generation.

argtypedescription
mMetricsThe metrics table.
textstringThe line, or an empty string for nothing on screen.
alphanumber0..1 — the strip's fade.

ui.registerScreen("flb_caption", Hud.caption(m, "Tower's down.", 1), 40)

descriptionThe instruments of First Light: Betocsin — a vertical dawn meter marked with the four watches, the course readout, the crane's prompt, the true-seat and watch flashes, the pause target on its own screen above the touch overlay, and the caption strip that prints the Warden's spoken lines.

# theme The look of every screen in First Light: Betocsin, in one place: the palette, the type scale, the metrics, the drawn devices, and the two pieces every card is assembled from. ```lua local T = require("game.screens.theme") local m = T.metrics() local tree = T.card(m, { id = "flb_title", children = { ... } }) ``` ## What it holds | | | |---|---| | `T.color` | The tinctures, by their heraldic names — `azure`, `argent`, `or_`, `gules` — plus the night grounds and the dawn ramp's `indigo` / `rose` / `ember`. | | `T.font` | Three families: `display` (EB Garamond), `body` (PT Serif), `numeral` (Cousine). | | `T.metrics()` | Everything a layout needs, off the LIVE `ui.screenSize()`: the type scale, the card column width, the row width, the padding rhythm. | | `T.device(lit)` | The town's device — the bell over a lozengy tower — as inline SVG. `lit` is how much dawn is on the bronze. | | `T.lozenge(fill)` | The small diamond used as a bullet, a tick and a focus pip. | | `T.trimDiagram()` / `T.swingDiagram()` / `T.dawnDiagram()` | The three drawn rules of the how-to card. | | `T.band(m, id)` | The lozengy rule that divides a card. | | `T.card(m, opts)` | A card shell: the scrim, the centred column, the frame, the entrance move. | | `T.row(m, opts)` | One selectable line of a card, with its lit state and its pointer target. | | `T.para(m, id, text, style)` | A wrapping paragraph. | | `T.legend(m, text, id)` | The small line under a card's rows naming what each device family presses. | ## Two rules it exists to keep Nothing is a pixel chosen for one screen. The type scale reads off `min(width, height  0.75)`, so a tall frame scales type by its width and a wide one by its height; the card is a single centred column at `min(0.86 · width, 0.6 · height)`. The same card reads on a 3:4 phone held upright and on a 16:9 television. A wrapping label carries its width on the box around it. `T.para` is that box. A label given both `wrap` and a width collapses to one glyph per line.
