# User Interface

**This page is for the design of the User Interface overall.**\
**For info on designing art assets for UI elements, see** [**here**](https://ss3d.gitbook.io/art-guide/2d/ui-elements)**.**\
**For info on the implementation of the UI, see** [**here**](https://ss3d.gitbook.io/systems/systems-intro/user-interface)**.**

User Interface is broken up into 3 sections; the [Server Hub](/design/basic-game-mechanics/user-interface/server-hub.md), the [Server Lobby](/design/basic-game-mechanics/user-interface/server-lobby.md), and the [Game](/design/basic-game-mechanics/user-interface/game.md) itself.

### Style

Text elements should be white as a general rule, and always be incased into a block of semi-transparent dark background with rounded edges. When colored (in chat or in case of warnings) text should be bright enough to be readable on the dark background, distinct enough from white text and slightly desaturated.

Fonts used are available in the project’s art GitHub repo.

*The follow pages use concept images and ideas; please ignore wrong backgrounds, fonts, and/or icons...*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ss3d.gitbook.io/design/basic-game-mechanics/user-interface.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
