Build UI: HUDs, menus, health bars, dialogue boxes, Control trees, anchors, containers and themes.

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

# UI Basics for Summer Engine

Build menus and HUDs using Summer Engine Control nodes. Follow these patterns
for layout, buttons, and responsive design.

## Control Hierarchy

Use containers for layout, then add content nodes:

```
Control or CanvasLayer (root)
└── MarginContainer
    └── VBoxContainer (or HBoxContainer)
        ├── Label
        ├── Button
        ├── Button
        └── ProgressBar
```

## Common Containers

| Container | Use |
|-----------|-----|
| MarginContainer | Padding from edges |
| VBoxContainer | Stack vertically |
| HBoxContainer | Stack horizontally |
| CenterContainer | Center child |
| GridContainer | Grid layout |

## Basic Menu

A menu is a dozen nodes: build it in one `summer_run_script` call (one undo
step), never as a chain of `summer_add_node` / `summer_set_prop` calls.

```
summer_run_script(scenePath="res://main.tscn", source="""
func run(ctx):
    var menu = ctx.add_node("Control", "MainMenu")
    menu.set_anchors_and_offsets_preset(Control.PRESET_FULL_RECT)
    var margin = ctx.add_node("MarginContainer", "Margin", menu)
    margin.set_anchors_and_offsets_preset(Control.PRESET_FULL_RECT)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add summerengine/summer/ui-basics@sha256:d7e5b79ee6ee4f6b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.e9d6e70, 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.
