entry_script

The EntryScript is a thin C++ wrapper around the Lua Entry class defined in Scripts/entry/entry.lua in the active skin. It exposes a fixed set of drawing and state functions that the skin author implements to control the visual appearance of the entry screen.

EntryScript

EntryScript();

Loads entry.lua via Sol2, constructs the Lua Entry object, and binds each expected function to a sol::protected_function. All calls go through error handling that logs failures via spdlog without crashing the game.

Lua-backed methods

Method	Description
update()	Advances all Lua-side animation state each frame
start_side_select()	Called once when the screen first enters SELECT_SIDE state
restart_side_select()	Called when all players have left and the screen returns to SELECT_SIDE
draw_background()	Draws the full-screen background, including any flickering light effects
draw_side_select()	Draws the side-select panel artwork
draw_side_select_buttons()	Draws the 1P / Cancel / 2P button tiles with the correct highlight state
draw_footer()	Draws the bottom bar showing join prompts, adapting to which players have joined
draw_player_entry(int side)	Draws player-join indicators for the given side (0 = 1P, 1 = 2P)
get_side_select_fade()	Returns the current opacity of the side-select fade overlay as a float

Lua implementation notes

The default skin script (entry.lua) caches texture IDs on first call for performance, drives the side-select fade through a dedicated animation, and determines footer content by reading whether 1P and 2P slots are occupied. Skin authors can override any of these methods to customise the entry screen's appearance.
