Measured entry

8bitcn-pause-menu

navbarskeuomorphism

A pixel-art pause panel shipped as a shadcn registry block, with resume, restart, and quit buttons whose sample actions only log to the console. It wraps shadcn Button and Card primitives and relies on React, Tailwind utility classes, a cn helper, Lucide icons, Radix Slot, class-variance-authority, and a hosted retro font.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 878ms
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "lucide-react" from "<sandbox>re-96726ac13d58/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/blocks/pause-menu.tsx".

Verdict

Do not publish this as a verified component yet. The supplied registry fails to build because its themed Button wrapper imports a missing base shadcn Button, while the bare build also lacks the cn utility. It needs a shadcn-style setup and should be avoided by teams seeking a self-contained drop-in.

Use it if

  • Your game interface already uses shadcn conventions and needs a compact retro pause panel.
  • You are prepared to replace the placeholder console actions with real game state handlers.
  • Your design can accommodate a hosted font and strongly pixelated controls.

Skip it if

  • You need a drop-in component for a plain React project without shadcn primitives and path aliases.
  • You expect working pause behavior without wiring callbacks into the menu buttons.
  • Your product avoids externally hosted fonts or uses a restrained, non-gaming visual system.
  • You need a component that passes the supplied build harness as published.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add compatible base Button and Card primitives, the cn utility and matching path aliases, Tailwind theme tokens and utility processing, Lucide React, Radix UI, class-variance-authority, and the retro font stylesheet. Then replace the console-only actions with callbacks or props.
