Measured entry
8bitcn-save-slots
A client-side React save-slot card for game-style profiles, with filled and empty states, previews, relative dates, grid or stacked layouts, and click callbacks. It ships as a shadcn registry block and pulls in the project's card, badge, button, separator, utility aliases, Tailwind classes, variant helpers, and retro font CSS.

Verdict
A focused, useful game UI block that builds and mounts in its intended environment, but it is not drop-in production code. It needs a shadcn-style setup, and teams should fix the nested interactive controls and narrow-screen overflow before shipping it.
Use it if
- You need a ready-made save or load selector with empty-slot handling and optional preview art.
- Your product already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind utilities, and the matching retro component set.
- You can patch the slot interaction markup and test the card at narrow widths before release.
Skip it if
- You need accessible interaction markup without modification, because the current filled-slot design nests a load button inside another interactive control.
- Your layout must work at narrow mobile widths without component-level responsive fixes.
- You want a framework-neutral card or do not want the bundled retro font import and pixel-art styling.
- You need separate save, load, rename, or delete actions rather than one shared slot callback.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui, @radix-ui/react-separator, 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 React client-component support, Tailwind with the expected theme tokens, the cn utility and path aliases, class variance authority, Radix UI and its separator package, clsx, and tailwind-merge. Also supply compatible card, badge, and button primitives, then include or replace the retro stylesheet and web font.
