App 2.38.0: Overview styles Visor and Empire

Browse Source 
Visor, after Halo's helmet display: the battery as the shield bar, the
range as the ammunition counter, P R N D as grenade slots, the speed in
the reticle with power round it, and the power trail as blips on a
motion tracker that sweeps while moving. Original blue or the accent.

Empire, after Age of Empires: a wooden resource bar, an isometric world
that moves with the speed, the car as the selected unit, P R N D as
commands, a diamond minimap, and ages by odometer (EmpireAge, tested).
The app takes the player's blue.

## Visor
After the helmet display of a science-fiction shooter like Halo: thin light-blue lines and
slanted frames on a dark visor. The shield bar on top is the battery, turning red and blinking
"BATTERY LOW" below 20 %; the ammunition counter is the range, as a number and as rounds, one per
10 km, with P R N D as the grenade slots under it; the reticle in the middle holds the speed and
fills with power round it, green and the other way while regenerating; the motion tracker shows
the last two minutes of power as blips, red while drawing and green while regenerating, and
sweeps while you drive. The objective lists trip, usage, climate and odometer. In its original
blue (shown, and the app turns blue with it) or in the accent colour.

## Empire
After the interface of a real-time strategy game like Age of Empires: a wooden resource bar on
top with the battery, range, power and usage, the clock, and the age you have reached by
odometer — Dark Age, then Feudal from 10,000 km, Castle from 30,000 and Imperial from 60,000. In
the isometric world below, the car is the selected unit on a road, its health bar the battery,
while the ground and trees move past as fast as you drive and the speed stands large over the
land. The carved panel at the bottom has P R N D as command buttons, the unit's portrait and
stats, and a diamond minimap with the odometer and the way to the next age. Below 20 % it warns
"Your battery is running low!". The app turns the player's blue with it.
