• window occupies slightly smaller region with drop shadow
• simple geometric background - possibly stripes or diagonal blue strip? maybe remove some of the colour from the interface (eg blue->white header) and move to background) (desktop only ofc)
• simple, clean pattern in the background. might come off as too cartoonish, though, I want this to look at least sort of generated and not custom.

then I'd be able to put css transforms on the internal elements. no need to background image anything

I've looked into it and it's worth it.

Per #35, the new game engine will have events defined by a static TOML file or files. The old game engine (LoopService.js) was not static, allowing me to pass arbitrary functions for each event to do whatever I want; this will no longer be possible. Each possible side effect must be documented and implemented specifically. So, what needs to be possible?

• Each interaction must have introductory dialogue and a set of options.
• Choosing an option should initiate another interaction.
• It should be possible to skip the options and proceed directly to a default interaction under some condition.
• Options should be able to be toggled on or off given some condition.
• Individual lines of text, and even groups of several lines, should be able to be toggled on or off given some condition.
• Any "some condition" should be able to access the game state to check for pretty much anything. (what is 'anything'? is it feasible to codify each possibility?)
• The event files must be read-writable so that I can make a UI to easily add new ones.
• It should be possible to generate a tree mapping all interactions together.
• It should be possible to find orphaned/wanted/tail interactions.
• It should be possible for options to appear during the text of an interaction, or otherwise produce an indistinguishable effect, that allows an option to be selected that will cancel and interrupt the current interaction and begin a new one.
• It should be possible for option selection to be interrupted, e.g. by a character growing impatient if time is running.

could be considered a bug BUT actual messaging services also do this albeit with a marker to show that the message was from you

probably python or something

would certainly make the spreadsheet way easier to manage.

data from the sheet is already being moved to src/js/events.json - just need to convert it into dialogue.coffee and events.coffee

currently both the logo and the gradient are set via style, which means that the gradient can't be changed for desktop

logo should be isolated to its own element

this would also facilitate advanced animations to be applied to it

five stage lock, each one shows another part of the symbol, after 5th the arrows click into place

mobile

• lose the textbox completely

window

desktop

• get bigger, thicker, longer slide-arrows
• make text size much bigger
• whitespace out the wazoo
• people on left with pfp, options on right
