I assume BBS used this for positioning UI relative to window size so that it would for example float relative to the window sides / corners / edges. Any tips for doing this?

We store the render.get_window_width() and render.get_window_height() in a Lua module so that it can be accessed by the floating gui when it’s animating in from the side to the middle of the screen.

Good to know for sure. Making an example which has floating UI and includes one of your render scripts.
By the way, I also mean the top bar (which positions at the top of the window no matter window size?) and the buttons in the lower left corner on the map screen.

Got it all working nicely. Making a thing that will give: top left corner, top center, top right corner… of window translated to game space etc. for more customizable relative positioning of floating UI.
edit: Thinking it should be north west, north, northeast etc. to follow what GUI already uses? The existing built in anchors use left / right / top / bottom terminology though.
