🎨 Design System

Arwes Color Palette

  • Primary: Cyan (#00F8FF) - Main accent color
  • Secondary: Electric Blue (#0080FF) - Complementary
  • Success: Neon Green (#00FF41) - Positive feedback
  • Warning: Orange (#FF8800) - Attention states
  • Error: Red (#FF0040) - Error states
  • Background: Black (#000000) - Pure sci-fi background

Typography

  • Primary Font: "Titillium Web" (futuristic sans-serif)
  • Monospace: "Roboto Mono" (code and data display)
  • Accent: "Orbitron" (headers and titles)

Animation Principles

  • Duration: 200-500ms for UI transitions
  • Easing: ease-out for entrances, ease-in for exits
  • Physics: Spring animations for organic feel
  • Performance: Hardware-accelerated transforms only

🔧 Development Guidelines

Code Standards

  • TypeScript: Strict mode enabled, full type coverage
  • ESLint: Airbnb configuration with custom rules
  • Prettier: Consistent code formatting
  • Testing: Jest + React Testing Library

Performance Targets

  • Frontend: First Contentful Paint <1.5s
  • Backend: API response time <100ms
  • Computer Vision: Processing latency <200ms
  • Real-time: WebSocket latency <50ms

Browser Support

  • Primary: Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+
  • Mobile: iOS Safari 14+, Chrome Mobile 90+
  • Fallbacks: Graceful degradation for older browsers

📋 Development Checklist

Before Starting Development

  • Read all PRD requirements
  • Review architecture diagrams
  • Set up development environment
  • Install all dependencies
  • Test camera access permissions

During Development

  • Follow TypeScript strict mode
  • Write tests for new features
  • Test on multiple devices
  • Optimize for performance
  • Document new components

Before Deployment

  • Run full test suite
  • Performance audit
  • Accessibility testing
  • Cross-browser testing
  • Load testing with multiple users

🎯 Event Preparation

Hardware Requirements

  • Laptop/Desktop: 8GB+ RAM, modern CPU
  • Camera: 1080p webcam or built-in camera
