Sets the letter in the tile's top-left corner with the value staying bottom
right — the in-game tile layout — instead of centring it. The glyph is placed
by its ink box rather than the text origin, so every letter lands on the same
corner whatever its side bearings and ascent.
Adds day-spot: the same crop and camera as night-spot on a light ground, so the
chosen composition exists as a light/dark pair.
Adds VK's own cover template (1920x768) and a self-contained generator that
renders an Эрудит board in perspective with ГРАМОТНОСТЬ / СОПЕРНИК /
ЭРУДИЦИЯ / УМ already played, in six art-direction variants for review.
The position is checked, not asserted: assertLegal re-reads the finished grid
and fails the build unless the centre is covered, every declared word is on the
board, and no maximal run of two or more letters is a word nobody played. All
four words are in the Эрудит dictionary and tile values come from
scrabble-solver rules.Erudit().
The camera has pitch only, so the perspective warp reduces to an exact
per-scanline remap of a flat texture; tile thickness is filled as 3D quads
between the board plane and the tile plane. skia-canvas is borrowed from the
render sidecar rather than installed a second time for a one-off asset build.
Composition respects the two VK keep-outs measured off the template: the top
130 px some clients crop, and the mobile avatar circle over the bottom-left —
which is why the default word arrangement keeps that corner empty.
The adaptive foreground's asterisk grazed the round mask's safe zone. Scale the
foreground mark 0.75 about the icon centre (25% smaller, the letter-to-star
arrangement unchanged) so it sits well inside the 61% safe zone. Independently,
the legacy square ic_launcher.png now renders the full-bleed master instead of
the safe-zone composite, so old Android (< API 26) shows a large mark rather
than a shrunk one; the legacy round icon keeps the safe-zone composite (a round
mask would clip the master's corner star). Regenerate the layer set, Android
res and the brandbook foreground previews; update ICON_BRANDBOOK.md / ICONS.md.
The SVG tracer export failed, so the icon was designed collaboratively from
scratch: a wooden «Э» tile with a ✻ score-subscript in Spectral Bold, wood
grain and diagonal light/shadow. Construction is specified in fractions of the
side in docs/ICON_BRANDBOOK.md; the reference generator, pinned Spectral font
and committed masters live in assets/icons/brand/.
One master -> the whole set (assets/icons/brand/build-set.mjs + build-android-res.mjs):
- web (ui/public): favicon.svg (light+dark via prefers-color-scheme), favicon.ico,
apple-touch, PWA any + maskable (+ dark variants), og-image reskinned to
«Эрудит» / Игра в слова
- Capacitor layers: ui/assets/{icon,icon-foreground,icon-background}.png
- Android launcher res, all densities, NO inset, + monochrome themed layer
(anydpi xml: background+foreground+monochrome)
- manual-upload art: assets/icons/brand/{vk,tg,store} (square, no rounding)
Primary variant light; dark where the platform can theme (favicon.svg). The old
LiberationSans generator (assets/icons/build) is removed; docs/ICONS.md retargeted
onto the single master. ANDROID_PLAN icon-rebrand item marked done.
The landing now always opens in Russian (saved 🌐 choice still wins) —
browser-language detection made the indexed content nondeterministic
(Googlebot renders with en-US). landing.html gains the static Russian
SEO head: title/description, canonical pinned to the production origin,
Open Graph card (Telegram/VK link previews), twitter:card, JSON-LD,
theme-color and the favicon set; the SPA shell turns noindex and its
tab title becomes «Эрудит (Скрэббл)». New assets/icons generator
(same tile design as the VK loader) produces favicon.svg/ico,
apple-touch-icon.png and og-image.png into ui/public/, plus robots.txt.
A 96x96 transparent Lottie for the VK app loading screen: the «Э» tile
(score 8) drops in under gravity, lands with a soft cushion squash
(left/right edges bulge convex, corners follow via a chordal spline),
springs back and loops (~1.1s). A warm glint is caught on the bounce.
Pure 2D shapes (ddd:0) for player compatibility; ~11KB (<24KB limit).
Glyphs are real LiberationSans outlines (Arial-metric, matching the
game's font stack). Includes a reproducible, dependency-light build
pipeline (build/generate.js + extract.js + glyphs.json) and a README.
The preview GIF's green-baize background is preview-only; the asset
itself is transparent.
