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?

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> |
