box

A Box is a single selectable tile in the box_manager on the entry screen. Each box stores its label text, current screen position, and two animations — one for sliding left/right and one for fading out when selected.

Box

Box(string text, BoxLocation location);

Initialises the box with the given display text and destination. Loads the MODE_SELECT texture and creates the move and open animations from the skin.

Positioning

void set_position(float x);

Sets both x and target_x immediately, with no animation.

void move_to(float target_x);

Sets target_x and starts the move_anim so the box eases to the new position.

State

void set_selected(bool selected);

Marks the box as highlighted. The highlighted box is drawn with left/right extension panels.

void start_open();

Triggers the open_anim fade-out, played when the player confirms this box.

bool is_animating() const;

Returns true while the move_anim is still running, used by box_manager to block further navigation inputs.

Draw

void draw();

Draws the tile texture at the current x position. If selected, also draws left and right extension highlight panels. The label text is drawn centred on the tile with a small vertical offset.
