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 & 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 id="the-live-demo">The Live Demo</h2> +<p><img src="/public/images/soma-terminal.png" alt="Terminal based off the SOMA computers" /></p> +<p><a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/ZEeLgmz">Live CodePen Example</a></p> +<h2 id="the-html">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><div class="outer-frame"> + <div class="screen"> + <div class="screen-guts"> + <h2>Key Control</h2> + <p><span>Panel Chip</span> (Connector)</p> + <p class="column"> + Security Keys: 023-027<br>C819738-23 + <br> + <span class="error">Error: Key Expired</span> + <br> + <em>Please update...</em> + </p> + <p> + <span>Permission</span> + <br> + Standard ThetaCipher + <br> + <span>Secop-Jstrohweier</span> + </p> + <button class="update-button">Update Chip</button> + </div> + <div class="bottom-controls"> + <button class="back-button">Back 背部</button> + </div> + </div> +</div> +</code></pre> +<h2 id="the-css">The CSS</h2> +<p>Let’s just dump all the CSS right here (don’t worry, it looks far more complicated than it really is):</p> +<pre><code>@import url('https://opentype.netlify.com/sansation/index.css'); + +* { + box-sizing: border-box; +} + +body { + background: #333; + font-family: "Sansation", sans-serif; + padding: 3rem 0; +} + +button { + appearance: none; + border: 0; + cursor: pointer; + font-family: "Inconsolata", "Consolas", mono; + font-size: 18px; + transition: 0.3s ease all; +} + +.outer-frame, +.screen { + display: block; + margin: 0 auto; + position: relative; +} + +.outer-frame { + background: #ccc url("https://preview.ibb.co/iS9nz7/screen_grunge.webp") no-repeat center; + background-size: cover; + border-radius: 5px; + box-shadow: 0 5px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.6); + height: 560px; + width: 750px; +} +.outer-frame:before { + background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3); + border-radius: 5px; + box-shadow: inset 5px 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.4), 1px 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.3); + content: ''; + height: 538px; + left: 15px; + position: absolute; + top: 11px; + width: 720px; +} + +.screen { + background: #000 url("https://image.ibb.co/gOqSz7/screen_dust.webp") no-repeat center; + background-size: cover; + border-radius: 5px; + height: 450px; + left: 75px; + padding: 60px; + position: absolute; + top: 55px; + width: 600px; +} +.screen:after { + background: url("https://s13.postimg.org/85ryuy1o7/dust.webp") no-repeat center; + background-size: cover; + border-radius: 5px; + box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.5), inset 5px 5px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.4), 1px 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.3); + content: ''; + height: 100%; + left: 0; + opacity: 0.8; + pointer-events: none; + position: absolute; + top: 0; + width: 100%; + z-index: 2; +} + +.screen-guts { + border-bottom: 2px solid #8fc8c8; + border-top: 2px solid #8fc8c8; + height: calc(100% - 50px); + position: relative; + width: 100%; + z-index: 0; +} +.screen-guts:after { + border: 2px solid #8fc8c8; + color: #8fc8c8; + content: '键'; + padding: 5px 8px; + position: absolute; + right: 0; + top: 5px; +} +.screen-guts h2 { + background: #8fc8c8; + color: #fff; + display: inline-block; + font-size: 24px; + margin: 0 0 30px 0; + padding: 10px; +} +.screen-guts p { + color: #8fc8c8; + font-size: 18px; + margin: 0 0 30px 0; +} +.screen-guts p.column { + column-width: 200px; +} +.screen-guts p span { + text-transform: uppercase; +} +.screen-guts p span.error { + color: #f37c56; +} +.screen-guts p span em { + text-transform: none; +} +.screen-guts button.update-button { + background: #889314; + bottom: 10px; + color: #fff; + padding: 15px 20px; + position: absolute; + right: 0; +} +.screen-guts button.update-button:hover { + background: #515905; +} + +.bottom-controls { + background: #8fc8c8; + border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px; + bottom: 0; + display: flex; + left: 0; + height: 50px; + padding: 5px; + position: absolute; + width: 100%; +} +.bottom-controls button.back-button { + background: rgba(0,0,0,0.2); + color: #fff; + line-height: 20px; + padding: 8px 20px; + text-transform: uppercase; +} +.bottom-controls button.back-button:hover { + background: rgba(0,0,0,0.6); +} +</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> +<footer role="contentinfo"> + <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> + <ul id="menu"> + <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> + <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> + <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> + <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> + <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> + <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> + <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> + <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> + </ul> + <small> + Built with <a href="https://barf.btxx.org">barf</a>. <br> + Feeds: <a href="/atom.xml">Atom</a> & <a href="/rss.xml">RSS</a><br> + Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> + Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> + The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. + </small> +</footer>
