simvx.core.ui.bottom_strip

BottomControlsStrip: light-grey hint bar pinned to the bottom of the screen.

Solitaire, Casual Crusade, Claustrowordia, and Tiny Yurts all hand-rolled the same widget: a 32–40 px light-grey rectangle pinned to the bottom edge, listing “DRAG X · PRESS Y · …” hint segments separated by middle-dots, with the active hint optionally bolded. This ships that widget as a first-class Control.

Example::

strip = BottomControlsStrip(hints=["DRAG cards onto piles", "DOUBLE-CLICK to auto-play", "ESC menu"])
strip.place_bottom_strip(height=32)  # see Control.place_bottom_strip
root.add_child(strip)

[‘BottomControlsStrip’]

class simvx.core.ui.bottom_strip.BottomControlsStrip(hints: list[str] | tuple[str, ...] = (), *, bg_colour: tuple[float, float, float, float] = (0.9, 0.9, 0.92, 1.0), text_colour: tuple[float, float, float, float] = (0.1, 0.1, 0.12, 1.0), **kwargs)

Bases: simvx.core.ui.core.Control

Pinned hint strip rendering “SEG · SEG · …” centred over a light-grey bg.

Properties

hints Tuple of short hint strings. Each segment is rendered separated by a middle-dot glyph. Re-assignment redraws. font_size Text size in px (default 13). text_colour RGBA tuple for the hint text (default near-black). bg_colour RGBA tuple for the strip background (default light grey #E6E6E6).

Layout

The strip is a normal :class:Control: pair it with

Meth:

Control.place_bottom_strip (or its top-strip companion) for the canonical anchored placement.
