LED And Gesture Reference

A quick map of the colors, animations, and button gestures used across NexTurn.

Color Language

Green means active, selected, joined, Leader, or game-complete success depending on context.
Blue means Follower, waiting, or connected state.
Purple means on-deck in Turn Order, countdown in Simultaneous or Buzzer, all-ready round reset in Simultaneous or Hybrid, or the midpoint of a Switchback stage.
Amber means ready, passed, scanning, or player-budget warning. In the last 10 seconds of Simultaneous, Hybrid follower, or Buzzer countdowns, purple accents separate warning amber from ready amber.
Red means disabled, timed out, expired player budget, update error, or another state that needs attention.
Teal means menu framing or an Advanced Game stage change.
White means start-player marker or turn-order capture.
Two adjacent green pixels in Hybrid mark the active leading player without covering ready/pass feedback.
Player Colors mode and View Players use each player’s assigned color. Countdown and timeout/error feedback stay visible by reserving part of the ring for player color and using the rest for progress.
Cooldown and Buzzer add their own recovery and lockout feedback while keeping the same warning and error color language.

Four breathing points mean a stable waiting, ready, passed, or value state.
Spinning tails mean this beacon is active or the system is showing an in-progress operation.
Purple wipe means a synchronized round reset in Simultaneous or Hybrid, or the midpoint turn in Switchback.
Regular Turn Order round wraps do not show the purple wipe; they continue directly to the next active player.
Teal wipe means an Advanced Game moved to a new stage.
Green pulses with color sparkles mean an Advanced Game completed.
Menu animations do not show the start-player marker; the menu only shows the current page and value.

Primary/Top tap advances the active turn or marks this player ready, depending on mode.
Hold every player’s Primary/Top together to enter turn-order capture; release beacons one at a time to set the order.
If Pass Round is enabled, hold Primary/Top for about 2 seconds until amber feedback appears, then release to pass.
Hold Primary/Top, then short press side/menu to undo one turn or undo only this player’s ready/pass state. Releasing Primary/Top commits the undo immediately.
Hold Primary/Top, then short press side/menu twice to manually advance the current Advanced Game stage.
Hold Primary/Top, then hold side/menu for about 2 seconds to claim the active turn for that beacon. In Advanced Game stages with start-player movement set to Claimed, the same gesture claims the next first-player marker instead.
Hold side/menu for about 2 seconds, then release to enter or exit the menu.
Inside the menu, short press side/menu to move pages and press Primary/Top to change the page value.
