How the game's user interface is built - canvases, buttons, window art, fonts, top-right bar

Game UI

The interface is Unity uGUI with TextMeshPro. The facts below were collected from the game version 1.0.4 and are what UiKit relies on.

Canvases

Canvas	Notes
`[Graphy]`	Overlay of the performance display, sorting order 30000.
`Canvas Over Dice`, `Canvas Background`, `Canvas`	Screen Space - Camera, sorting 0, reference resolution 1920x1080 (scale 1). The HUD is under `Canvas`.

Mod windows are parented to the HUD canvas (found through components such as BuildInterface, ChatInterface, LogInterface).

Buttons

Game buttons are components of the game, not plain Unity colours:

DiceKingdoms.Interface.BaseButton holds the Unity Button (unityButton), the state, per-state cursor sprites, the Interactable property and the onClick event. BaseButton.Update maps the texture of the shown sprite to a state, so a button must always keep one of its known sprites.
Subclasses: ButtonIcon (an icon, used by the top-right bar: Top > Icon) and ButtonLabel (a text button: Top > Label).
Art: Button-1-{Ready,Hovered,Pressed,Disabled} (384x384, 9-slice border 32, pixels per unit 200, type Sliced, 32x32 units in the HUD). Button-2-* is the second style, used for the selected look. The Unity Button uses a sprite swap, plus a Shadow component.
A sliced button needs a size of about twice its border. At exactly 32 units the centre slice is empty and rounding leaves hairlines, so UiKit uses 31.75.
Label: TextMeshProUGUI, font Main-Font-Normal, size 20 with auto size, colour RGBA(0.969, 0.940, 0.893), material Main-Font-Normal-Shadow, centred.

Windows and frames

Window background: an Image with sprite Background-3 (2048x2048, Simple, white with alpha about 0.95; Background-4 is used less) and a child Ornament-N (Sliced, white).
Ornament borders: 1 = 16, 2 = 142, 3 = 32 (most used), 4 = 32, 5 = 150.
Fonts: TMP assets Main-Font-Normal (almost every text) and Main-Font-Big; materials Main-Font-Normal-Shadow, Main-Font-Big-Shadow, Main-Font-Normal-Flat.
Icons: hammer (512x512), settings, back-to-menu, question-mark, and building-icon-<type>-ancient-<colour> (256x280).

Top-right bar

Canvas > Meta > Buttons is a HorizontalLayoutGroup with a ContentSizeFitter (anchors top right, 140x32), so its children flow automatically. The children are 32x32: Scoreboard, Rules (the "?" icon, opens the long rules screen), Settings, Back To Menu. Each has Top > Icon (24x24). In the main menu the same style is under Top Right/Top Right Buttons. The Rules button has one persistent click listener, which must be removed when it is cloned.

Scenes

The Rules screen, Settings screen, About, Store and Scoreboard are separate screens that exist in the hierarchy but may be inactive. Cloning a template from an inactive screen works, but the screen must have been loaded.
