    "description": "Single static camera view, dark charcoal-grey background with a soft radial light highlight in the upper-left corner and a vignette toward the edges (colors: background is dark slate grey fading to near-black at the corners; the radial highlight is a lighter cool grey).",
    "top_left": "Game wordmark: bold white text 'MINESWEEPER' followed by 'XY' set inside a solid yellow rounded-rectangle badge with black bold lettering. To the immediate left of the wordmark is the mascot icon: a round matte-yellow cartoon bomb body with a thin black outline, a small black fuse nub on top from which a curled orange/yellow spark (comic-style lightning zigzag) emerges.",
    "top_right": "Two identical-style small dark circular icon buttons side by side: a speaker/sound-on icon (white speaker glyph with sound-wave arcs) and a hamburger/menu icon (three horizontal white lines inside a circle) that opens the settings panel. A small time readout (e.g. '11:03') appears above these buttons in the very top-right corner of the frame in each captured screenshot; this reads as a system/browser clock outside the game's own chrome, not a game element, since it changes between screenshots to match real capture time and has no game function.",
    "center": "The isometric minefield platform: a rectangular 3D block viewed from an elevated angle. The top face is covered in green grass texture (unrevealed tiles) subdivided into a visible grid of square tiles by darker grid lines. The block's vertical side faces are dark navy-blue/near-black with a repeating panel texture and small round glowing cyan/teal dot accents running along the lower edge, evoking a sci-fi machine casing. The platform's size and tile-grid density scale with the selected field size (from a small 2-wide-by-3-deep block up to a long 6-wide-by-15-deep runway that extends off the right edge of the viewport).",
    "right_edge": "A large circular badge, partly clipped by the right edge of the viewport, showing either: (a) before/between rows - a white 'footprints' icon (two shoe-sole silhouettes) above the word 'START' on a black circular button with a white ring outline; or (b) during an active round with at least one safe row cleared - a white 'money bag held by a hand' icon above the word 'COLLECT' on the same style of circular button. After a bust (mine hit), the button reverts to the START state, and its outer ring shows a brief glowing white highlight/animation around part of the circle.",
    "multiplier_ladder_tags": "A row of red, rounded-rectangle pill-shaped tags runs diagonally along the near (front-right) edge of the platform, one per row of the field, each printed with that row's cumulative multiplier value in white bold text (e.g. '1.96', '3.92', '7.85'). These are always visible, before and during a round, and constitute the game's paytable-equivalent.",
    "bottom_bar": {
      "left": "Coin-stack/wallet icon (grey circular badge) followed by the label 'Balance' (grey/white) and the numeric demo-balance amount in large white text suffixed 'FUN' (e.g. '1000.0 FUN'). 'FUN' is the label BGaming prints on its demo-mode balance token, not a real currency; it is not the game's actual currency and is not recorded as one anywhere in this documentation.",
      "center": "A single-line status/prompt message in large white or yellow text, centered. Observed states: 'PRESS \"START\", PLEASE!' (idle, before a round), 'CHOOSE BLOCK PLEASE!' (round active, waiting for the player to pick a tile in the highlighted row), 'YOU CAN TAKE: 1.96' (after at least one safe row, showing the multiplier value currently bankable via COLLECT, in yellow), and 'WIN: 1.41 FUN!' (after a successful COLLECT, in yellow, showing the actual currency amount won rather than a multiplier).",
      "right": "Chip-stack icon (grey circular badge) followed by the label 'Total Bet' (grey/white) and the numeric stake in large white text suffixed 'FUN' (e.g. '1 FUN', '100 FUN')."
    },
    "colorblind_accessibility_notes": [
      "The currently selectable row of tiles is distinguished from the rest of the grass field by being a lighter yellow-green shade versus the darker saturated green of the rest of the field. This is a color-only distinction on the tile fill, but it is reinforced by POSITION: the highlighted row is always the row immediately adjacent to the already-resolved (safe) tiles, so a colorblind player can also track progress by which row is nearest the 'walked' path rather than by hue alone.",
      "A revealed SAFE tile is marked by a red flag on a white/cream post standing in a brown dirt patch (shape + texture change, not color alone: the tile itself changes from grass texture to bare dirt texture, distinguishing it from an unrevealed grass tile independent of the flag's red color).",
      "A revealed MINE tile (either the one the player clicked to bust, or the other tiles of a resolved row that were NOT chosen) is marked by a dark grey/near-black spherical bomb model with a light tan/beige twisted-rope fuse standing upright - a strongly-shaped 3D object distinct in silhouette from both the flat green grass tiles and the flag marker, so the mine/safe distinction does not rely on color at all.",
      "The multiplier ladder tags are red pills with white text; the numeric value itself is the primary information carrier (readable independent of color), and their left-to-right ascending order along the platform edge is a second, non-color cue to which value corresponds to which row depth."

      "1. Idle state: field shown fully green/unrevealed, full multiplier ladder for the selected field size visible along the near edge, bottom-center message reads 'PRESS \"START\", PLEASE!', right-edge button shows START.",
      "2. Player presses START. The round begins on the selected field size at the selected bet value; the demo-balance immediately reflects the stake (observed: balance dropped from 1000.0 to 999.0 FUN on a 1 FUN bet at round start). The nearest row of tiles is highlighted (lighter yellow-green) and the bottom-center message changes to 'CHOOSE BLOCK PLEASE!'.",
      "3. Player clicks one tile within the highlighted row. The engine reveals the outcome for that entire row: the tile the player clicked either becomes a flagged safe spot (dirt patch + red flag) or a bomb (bust, see step 5). If safe, the OTHER tile(s) in that same row that were not chosen are also revealed, showing the mine location(s) that were avoided (dark bomb model on grass).",
      "4. On a safe row: the bottom-center message switches to 'YOU CAN TAKE: <value>' showing the multiplier value corresponding to the row just cleared (matches the row's ladder tag, e.g. 1.96 for the first row of a 2x3 field), and the right-edge button switches to COLLECT. The next row up the field becomes highlighted, and the player may either press COLLECT to cash out immediately at the current multiplier, or click a tile in the newly-highlighted row to press on for a higher multiplier at the risk of hitting that row's hidden mine.",
      "5. Bust: if the player's chosen tile in a row is a mine, the round ends immediately. ALL remaining unrevealed mine positions across the WHOLE field (not just the current row) are revealed as dark bomb models. The stake and any un-collected running multiplier are lost (balance does not change further from the initial stake deduction in step 2 - observed balance stayed at 999.0 FUN, unchanged from immediately after START, confirming the loss was already booked at round start). The bottom-center message reverts to 'PRESS \"START\", PLEASE!' and the button reverts to START (with a brief glowing-ring highlight animation observed on this transition).",
      "6. Successful collect: if the player presses COLLECT after one or more safe rows, the round ends, the ENTIRE field is revealed (all remaining mine positions shown across every row, plus the flags on every tile the player successfully walked), the bottom-center message shows 'WIN: <amount> FUN!' in yellow with the actual currency amount (multiplier x total bet), and the demo-balance increases by that win amount (observed: 999.0 -> 999.4 FUN winning 1.41 FUN on a 1 FUN bet after 2 safe rows on the 6x15 field, i.e. multiplier 1.41x from that field's ladder second rung).",
      "7. After either outcome the game returns to the idle state (step 1) and the player may change bet value or field size before pressing START again."
