Overview
This session focused entirely on improving the visual interface. No new game mechanics were added. The goal was to make the layout clearer, more informative, and more polished without introducing gradients or heavy visual effects.
Changes
Boss Panel
The boss panel was restructured. The boss name and HP bar are now displayed in a compact stat block below the sprite. The HP bar was thinned down and simplified. A row of task progress dots was added beneath it, one dot per task. Each dot fills white when a task is completed. The active task pulses dimly to show the current position. This gives the player a clear sense of progress at a glance without needing to count tasks.
A damage flash effect was also added. When the boss takes a hit, a red ring briefly expands around the sprite and fades out. This makes successful submissions feel more impactful.
Task Panel
The task panel was redesigned with a header row containing two badges: one showing the current task number out of the total, and one showing the HP damage the task will deal. The description is now treated as the main heading. The example code block was simplified with a minimal left border accent.
The victory screen was also cleaned up. It now shows a small “BOSS DEFEATED” label above the title, consistent with the badge style used throughout the rest of the UI.
Global Styles
Google Fonts were loaded globally for Inter and JetBrains Mono. Custom scrollbar styles were applied to keep the dark theme consistent throughout. Default browser margin and padding resets were added.
Notes
The color palette is strictly black, white, and grays. No gradients, no colored backgrounds, no glow effects. The only color exception is the red damage badge and the low-HP bar state, which are intentional signals to the player.
