BanzaiSland

**BanzaiSland** is a BANZAI-themed contextual activity HUD for World of Warcraft Retail.

One small **island** sits at the top centre of your screen and grows downward only when it has something to say. At rest it is your XP or reputation bar. When something happens it opens into a **card** and settles back when the moment is over. Your timers live beside it as round **bubbles**. And when the game asks you something, the card carries the **buttons**.

Type `/bsl` to open the settings, `/bsl preview` to try every look with made-up scenarios, `/bsl status` to see your version.

### Progression

The XP / reputation bar and its gains, and a level-up card that shows your class identity.

### Cards

Loot, rolls, invites, ready checks, resurrection, summons, alerts, zone changes, dungeon runs, vendor visits, group changes - and cards sent by extensions.

### Bubbles

Activity bubbles with timer rings, pins, a **+n** chip for everything that is live, a warning dot and an error pill.

### Prompts

Ready check, invite, loot roll, duel, summon, release / resurrect - answered on the card. The buttons press the game's own secure buttons, out of combat only, and never on their own.

### Make it yours

- **Chassis** - **Bamboo** (end caps, chamfered glass, accent hairlines) or **Hairline** (four one-pixel lines).
- **Materials** - **Banzai Glass**, **Solid** or **Hardkorh Parchment**. Parchment has its own INK palette: every text keeps at least 4.5:1 contrast against the paper's darkest grain, with thirteen class inks.
- **Accents** - Banzai, Class or Hardkorh. Buttons are green (primary), violet (alternate) and crimson (decline).
- **Display font** - Automatic, BANZAI Default (Shojumaru at 105 %), Shojumaru, Ryujin Attack, Gang of Three, Osaka Sans, Sekaiwo, Xangda Shiny, Ninja Naruto or the Information Font (Open Sans ExtraBold). Anything a font cannot draw falls back, as a whole string, to the Information Font.

### Settings, profiles, extensions

A modern settings window: Appearance, Card Builder, Preview, Sounds, Notifications, Bubbles, Activities, Supported Addons, Extensions, Controls, General, Profiles, About & Credits. An account **Default** profile plus named profiles, assigned per character. Other addons can send cards and bubbles through **BanzaiSlandAPI v1**; extension packages are OFF by default.

### With BANZAI UI

BANZAI UI is optional - BanzaiSland is complete on its own. With both installed, the **BANZAI SLAND** launcher on the island's top edge serves both: **BANZAI** opens BANZAI UI's settings, **SLAND** opens BanzaiSland's. The wordmark is bamboo art; "SLAND" is drawn in your display font.

### Compatibility

World of Warcraft Retail, Interface 120105 (`BanzaiSland_Mainline.toc`). No required dependencies. This release is Retail only; WoW Forever compatibility is the next milestone.

**Do not run the original Island addon at the same time.** BanzaiSland refuses to run beside it and says so in one chat line. Disable one of the two.
