-date: 2021-05-29

-A few years back I played (and loved) [SOMA](https://store.steampowered.com/app/282140/SOMA/), 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.
-
-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

-
-## 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):

-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!
