+<h1>SOMA Inspired Terminal Display with CSS</h1>
+<p>2021-05-29</p>
+<p>A few years back I played (and loved) <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/282140/SOMA/">SOMA</a>, a first-person sci-fi horror-adventure game. The story was intriguing and the developers nailed the overall atmosphere of Pathos-II. Though both those aspects were great, what I found the most enjoyable were the interactive computers and displays found sprinkled throughout the world.</p>
+<p>Three years ago I wanted to see if I could recreate one of those terminal displays with HTML &amp; CSS. And I did just that.</p>
+<p>So, why am I writing about this <em>three years later</em>? Well, I never did a proper write-up explaining how I achieved it. I'm sure someone out there in the wild west of the web could get some value out of this tutorial, right? I hope so!</p>
+<h2>The Live Demo</h2>

+<p><a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/ZEeLgmz">Live CodePen Example</a></p>
+<h2>The HTML</h2>
+<p>Nothing fancy going on here - just some simple <code>div</code> elements holding a few paragraphs and spans:</p>
+<pre><code>&lt;div class=&quot;outer-frame&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;div class=&quot;screen&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;div class=&quot;screen-guts&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;h2&gt;Key Control&lt;/h2&gt;
+ &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Panel Chip&lt;/span&gt; (Connector)&lt;/p&gt;
+ &lt;p class=&quot;column&quot;&gt;
+ Security Keys: 023-027&lt;br&gt;C819738-23
+ &lt;br&gt;
+ &lt;span class=&quot;error&quot;&gt;Error: Key Expired&lt;/span&gt;
+ &lt;br&gt;
+ &lt;em&gt;Please update...&lt;/em&gt;
+ &lt;/p&gt;
+ &lt;p&gt;
+ &lt;span&gt;Permission&lt;/span&gt;
+ &lt;br&gt;
+ Standard ThetaCipher
+ &lt;br&gt;
+ &lt;span&gt;Secop-Jstrohweier&lt;/span&gt;
+ &lt;/p&gt;
+ &lt;button class=&quot;update-button&quot;&gt;Update Chip&lt;/button&gt;
+ &lt;/div&gt;
+ &lt;div class=&quot;bottom-controls&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;button class=&quot;back-button&quot;&gt;Back 背部&lt;/button&gt;
+ &lt;/div&gt;
+ &lt;/div&gt;
+&lt;/div&gt;

+</code></pre>
+<p>The overall styling is fairly simple (which is great for browser support) with only a couple pseudo elements. It's important to include the custom <code>Sansation</code> typeface, since this is what the game uses for most UI elements and terminals. (I'm loading in this font via my <a href="https://opentype.netlify.app">OpenType side project</a>)</p>
+<p>The most important properties that truly bring this design together are those associated with the <code>.outer-frame</code> and <code>.screen</code> pseudo elements. Both of these elements use custom <code>background-images</code> that give a little more depth and life to the terminal - in this case fingerprints, dust and smudges.</p>
+<p>Feel free to swap these image textures out with your own and alter the terminal as you see fit!</p>
