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. - -Three years ago I wanted to see if I could recreate one of those terminal displays with HTML & CSS. And I did just that. - -So, why am I writing about this *three years later*? 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! - -## The Live Demo - -![Terminal based off the SOMA computers](/public/images/soma-terminal.png) - -[Live CodePen Example](https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/ZEeLgmz) - -## The HTML - -Nothing fancy going on here - just some simple `div` elements holding a few paragraphs and spans: - - - <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> - - -## The CSS - -Let's just dump all the CSS right here (don't worry, it looks far more complicated than it really is): - - - @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); - } - - -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 `Sansation` typeface, since this is what the game uses for most UI elements and terminals. (I'm loading in this font via my [OpenType side project](https://opentype.netlify.app)) - -The most important properties that truly bring this design together are those associated with the `.outer-frame` and `.screen` pseudo elements. Both of these elements use custom `background-images` that give a little more depth and life to the terminal - in this case fingerprints, dust and smudges. - -Feel free to swap these image textures out with your own and alter the terminal as you see fit! |
