HUD — Persistent Panels (YAML)

HUD panels (hud:) display persistent information on the player screen: HP, score, mini-map, countdown, and so on.

HUD panels are visible on web and desktop. On Discord and terminal they are ignored; essential information should also appear in narrative text.

• top, bottom, left, right
• top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right
