8-bit Game Over

GameOver is a fixed 8-bit-style game-over panel with a “Game Over” heading, “Continue?” prompt, Retry and Exit buttons, and a decorative skull image. Its only component-specific input is the standard set of div props, including an optional className.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @8bitcn/game-over

Requires @8bitcn in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import GameOver from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/game-over";export function GameOverScreen() {  return <GameOver />;}
  • Show a game-over state with clear retry and exit choices.
  • Add a retro-styled end screen to a game or gaming-themed interface.
  • Use as a static presentation panel when you will wire the buttons to your own game actions.

Examples

Add an accessible label and an id

Forward standard div attributes to the outer wrapper.

add-an-accessible-label-and-an-id.tsx
import GameOver from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/game-over";export function EndScreen() {  return <GameOver id="game-over" aria-label="End of game" />;}

Place the panel in a centered layout

Wrap the component in a page-level layout; the block retains its own card layout.

place-the-panel-in-a-centered-layout.tsx
import GameOver from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/game-over";export function GameOverPage() {  return (    <main className="grid min-h-screen place-items-center p-6">      <GameOver className="w-full max-w-2xl" />    </main>  );}

Forward a data attribute

Standard div attributes are passed to the component’s outer element.

forward-a-data-attribute.tsx
import GameOver from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/game-over";export function TaggedGameOver() {  return <GameOver data-testid="game-over-panel" />;}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
classNamestring—Optional class name merged with the component’s outer div classes.
...propsReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Standard div attributes are forwarded to the outer wrapper. The component renders fixed internal content; a supplied children prop does not replace it.

Accessibility

  • The Retry and Exit buttons have visible text labels, so their actions are identifiable without relying on the SVG icons.
  • The inline SVGs have aria-label values, but the adjacent visible button text provides the primary accessible name.
  • The skull image uses the generic alt text “Image”; replace it with a meaningful description if the image conveys information.
  • Retry and Exit are presentational buttons without built-in action handlers. Add the relevant game logic after installation.
  • The image column is hidden below the medium breakpoint, while the heading and buttons remain visible.
