Measured entry

8bitcn-main-menu

navbarskeuomorphism

A retro game menu rendered as a card with a vertical set of pixel-styled buttons. It ships as a shadcn registry block alongside custom button, card, and font CSS files, and depends on project-local shadcn primitives, a cn helper, Tailwind theme classes, class-variance-authority, and Radix UI.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 1.08s
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-31d10146c5e7/src/components/ui/8bit/card.tsx".

Verdict

A focused visual starter for an existing shadcn-style setup, but not a working standalone menu. The verified build fails because its custom button imports a missing base button primitive, and bare use also lacks the expected utility layer. Avoid it if you need a ready-to-run navigation component.

Use it if

  • You already use shadcn conventions and want a compact retro game menu shell.
  • You are prepared to replace the placeholder labels and wire each button to real navigation or game actions.
  • Your design can accommodate a remotely loaded retro font and strongly pixelated controls.

Skip it if

  • You need a drop-in navbar that builds without project-local UI primitives.
  • You need working menu behavior out of the box, because the defined actions are not attached to the buttons.
  • You cannot rely on an externally hosted font or do not want a game-specific visual treatment.

In a non-shadcn project, add compatible base button and card primitives, the cn class-merging helper, matching import aliases, Tailwind theme tokens and utilities, class-variance-authority, Radix UI, and the supplied retro stylesheet. Then connect each button to an actual handler or route.
