Measured entry
8bitcn-game-hero1
heroskeuomorphismmotion on file
A centered pixel-game launch hero with a version badge, headline, copy, CTA links, and an XP progress bar. It ships as a shadcn registry block for Next.js, backed by local badge, button, and progress wrappers, Tailwind theme classes, a cn helper, Radix progress and slot primitives, class-variance-authority, and a retro font stylesheet.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1.12s error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-5b160f268d93/src/components/ui/8bit/badge.tsx".
Verdict
A focused themed hero, but this registry item does not build as fetched because its pixel badge wrapper imports a missing base badge component. The bare version also lacks the cn utility, so it needs a shadcn-style setup and dependency repair before evaluation or production use.
Use it if
- You need a compact launch or release hero for a game-themed Next.js page.
- Your project already has shadcn aliases, theme tokens, base badge and button primitives, and the cn helper.
- An XP-style progress indicator fits the product story and the CTA destinations are known.
Skip it if
- You need a framework-neutral drop-in component or do not use Next.js routing.
- Your design system cannot support the bundled pixel wrappers and retro font treatment.
- You need a verified build without repairing missing shadcn base components.
- Your content security policy forbids loading the stylesheet's external Google font.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui, @radix-ui/react-progress, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add the cn utility and path aliases, compatible base badge and button primitives, Tailwind theme tokens, class-variance-authority, Radix progress and slot support, and the retro stylesheet. Provide Next.js Link or replace it with your router or anchors, and decide whether to self-host the font.
