8-bit Quest Log
QuestLog displays a list of game quests in a retro 8-bit card, with status badges and expandable descriptions. Active quests appear before other statuses, and multiple quest entries can be expanded at once.

API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
questsQuest[]—Required quest entries. Each Quest has required id, title, description, and status fields, plus an optional shortDescription. Active quests are listed first; order within each status group follows the input order.
classNamestring—Optional class name applied to the outer Card.
maxHeightstring—Declared by QuestLogProps, but currently not used by the component. The scroll area has a fixed h-[400px] class.
showEmptyStatebooleantrueWhen quests is empty, controls whether the empty-state message is shown. If false, the component renders the scroll area and empty accordion instead.
emptyStateMessagestring"No quests available."Message shown when quests is empty and showEmptyState is true.
Accessibility
- Accordion entries use the underlying Radix accordion behavior; each quest can be opened or closed, and the accordion is configured to allow multiple entries open at once.
- Quest status is shown as uppercase text as well as a badge style, so status is not conveyed by color alone.
- The scroll area viewport includes visible focus styling for keyboard navigation.
- Use a distinct, stable id for each quest so accordion items have unique values.
- The empty-state message is rendered as text when enabled. The component does not expose props for controlling accordion state.
