Measured entry
8bitcn-game-team1
A pixel-art party roster that renders responsive player cards with avatar fallbacks, level badges, and health, mana, and experience meters. It ships as a shadcn registry block with TypeScript components and a retro stylesheet, and relies on Tailwind theme tokens, the cn helper, shadcn card and badge foundations, Radix avatar and progress primitives, variant utilities, and a Google-hosted font.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1.34s error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-e86ef4563616/src/components/ui/8bit/avatar.tsx".
Verdict
A convincing game-specific roster that renders reliably and adapts well across the tested layouts. Use it when the pixel aesthetic is intentional, but fix the unnamed progress meters before shipping and weigh its dependency cost against a simpler roster.
Use it if
- You need a compact game party or character roster with configurable member data.
- Your interface already uses Tailwind and shadcn conventions, including path aliases and theme tokens.
- You want the roster to collapse from a paired grid into a readable single column on narrow screens.
Skip it if
- Your product has a restrained or corporate visual language that would clash with the pixel-art treatment.
- You cannot spend time adding accessible names to every stat meter before release.
- You only need a basic avatar list and cannot justify the added component and font dependencies.
- Your content security policy forbids remote fonts and you do not plan to self-host the typeface.
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 Tailwind with the expected color tokens, configure the path alias and cn class-merging helper, install the Radix avatar and progress primitives plus the variant and class-merging utilities, and provide compatible card and badge foundations. Copy the retro stylesheet, then allow the Google font request or self-host that typeface. Add accessible labels to the stat meters.
