Measured entry
8bitcn-game-over
A static retro game-over card with Retry and Exit actions, inline pixel icons, and a skull image panel. It ships as a shadcn registry block with bundled 8-bit button and card wrappers, and relies on Tailwind utilities, the cn helper, base shadcn Button and Card components, class-variance-authority, radix-ui, a hosted retro font, and a local skull asset.

What the harness recorded
CONSOLE
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1.09s error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-5a018c8dcad0/src/components/ui/8bit/button.tsx".
Verdict
Do not publish this entry as working yet. The build fails because its included 8-bit card imports a base Card module that the harness does not have, so it never mounts. It needs a shadcn-style setup, including the expected primitives and aliases, before it can be evaluated in the browser.
Use it if
- You already run a shadcn-style React app and want a themed game-over or retry screen.
- Your product can supply behavior for the presentational Retry and Exit buttons.
- You are prepared to provide the referenced skull artwork and accept a remotely loaded font.
Skip it if
- You need a drop-in component for a plain React project with no shadcn primitives or path aliases.
- Your policy forbids remote font requests or requires every visual asset to ship inside the component.
- You need working retry and exit logic rather than a presentational card.
- You cannot repair registry integration failures before release.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui, 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 expected source aliases and cn utility, Tailwind theme tokens and utilities, compatible base Button and Card primitives with all imported exports, class-variance-authority, radix-ui, the retro stylesheet and font handling, and the referenced skull image. Then wire application callbacks to both buttons.
