Design HUDs, menus and diegetic interfaces with controller navigation and readability at TV distance. Use when designing HUDs, inventory menus, or controller-first interfaces.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# game-ui

## Core Philosophy
User Interface (UI) design for video games is fundamentally different from web or SaaS design. Game UI exists in service of immersion, situational awareness, and gameplay flow. A cluttered, opaque web-style dashboard pasted over a 3D game world shatters immersion. Game UI requires strict classification across diegetic and non-diegetic layers, controller-first spatial navigation (the 10-foot television rule), rapid glanceability during high-stress combat, and responsive resolution scaling.

## 4-Step Game UI & HUD Architecture

### Step 1: The 4 Interface Immersion Layers
1. **UI Layer Classification**:
   - *Diegetic UI*: Exists inside the physical 3D game world and is experienced by the character (e.g. Dead Space holographic health spine, Pip-Boy wrist computer, physical map held in character hands).
   - *Non-Diegetic UI*: Traditional 2D screen overlay completely invisible to the character (e.g. Health bar at top-left, floating minimap, pause menu).
   - *Spatial UI*: UI elements positioned in the 3D world but invisible to the character (e.g. floating waypoint markers over mission objectives, player name tags).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add poorvith-mp/skills-gamedev/game-ui@sha256:514f2678d1e424c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.4cb57a5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
