Title Screen Implementation Quick Start

✅ What Was Created

1. Title Screen Minigame (`js/minigames/title-screen/title-screen-minigame.js`)

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                         │
│          BreakEscape                    │  ← Green glowing title
│          (pulsing effect)               │
│                                         │
│     Educational Security Game          │  ← Subtitle
│                                         │
│          Loading...                     │  ← Animated dots
│                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

2. CSS Styling (`css/title-screen.css`)

Green glowing effect with text-shadow
Pulse animation on the title
Full-screen dark background (#1a1a1a)
Monospace font for tech aesthetic

3. Integration Points

✅ Registered in minigames framework
✅ Auto-launches during game create() phase
✅ Auto-closes when next minigame starts
✅ Canvas remains hidden until title screen closes

🚀 How to Use

In Scenario JSON:

{
    "showTitleScreen": true,
    "scenario_brief": "Your mission...",
    ...
}

Or disable it:

{
    "showTitleScreen": false,
    ...
}

Or via JavaScript:

window.startTitleScreenMinigame({
    autoCloseTimeout: 5000  // Custom timeout in ms
});

📝 Files Modified

js/minigames/index.js - Register title screen
js/core/game.js - Launch title screen during create()
js/minigames/framework/minigame-manager.js - Auto-show canvas on transition

🧪 Test It

# Start server
cd /path/to/BreakEscape
python3 -m http.server 8000

# Visit with title screen scenario
http://localhost:8000/index.html?scenario=title-screen-demo

You should see the BreakEscape title appear immediately, then transition to the game!

💡 Future Customization Ideas

The title screen is fully customizable. Modify in title-screen-minigame.js:

// Change content in init()
this.container.innerHTML = `
    <div class="title-screen-container">
        <div class="title-screen-title">BreakEscape</div>
        <div class="title-screen-subtitle">Custom subtitle here</div>
        <div class="title-screen-custom">Add any content!</div>
    </div>
`;

Or add scenario-specific styling:

{
    "titleScreenConfig": {
        "title": "Custom Title",
        "subtitle": "Custom Subtitle",
        "backgroundColor": "#000033"
    }
}

Then enhance the minigame to use these settings!
