In this article, I will solve a Totally Triangle CSS Challenge on CSS Battle.
I will create the Google Pay icon in this article using CSS only. Let's look at how we do that.
In this article, I will solve a Totally Triangle CSS Challenge on CSS Battle.
In this article, I will solve a Totally Triangle CSS Challenge on CSS Battle. Let's look at the problem first.
Problem
We need to create the following container by using CSS Properties only:
Solution
So now look at the Solution and how we are going to achieve this.
HTML <p> CSS
Now let's style the containers.
* { margin: 0; background: #0b2429; } p { position: fixed; width: 200; height: 200; background: #f3ac3c; transform: rotate(45deg); left: -100; top: -100; }
Note: In CSS Battle you can use 100 instead of 100px. You don't need to define px in CSS. However, if you are using rem or %, you need to pass them separately. That's why in the above CSS code there are no units mostly. For more info visit here
Minify the code or CSS by using any CSS Minifier. It helps you to reduce the characters in the code which will increase the score.
Minified Version:
<p><style>*{margin:0;background:#0B2429}p{position:fixed;width:200;height:200;background:#F3AC3C;transform:rotate(45deg);left:-100;top:-100} Alternative Method CSS body { background: linear-gradient(135deg, #f3ac3c 100px, #0b2429 100px); }
You can achieve this by using linear-gradient() also which is a lot simpler. You don't even need HTML in this.
Wrapping up
There are many ways to solve this. You can share your approach in the comments. If you like this then don't forget to ❤️ it. And I'll see you in the next article. See you soon.
This article is special, you may ask why. It is because, in my last article CSS Flag: India, I said-
I am starting a new series called CSS Flag. Where I'll be making different countries' flags starting with India.
I asked myself "Why don't I make an article which will have all 195 countries' flags instead of creating 195 articles?". Well, Here I am.
In this article, I have made all countries' flags by just using HTML and CSS. At the end of the article. You will have a special Bonus (you have to reach the end of the article to see it).
Disclaimer
The idea of this series came up in my mind on 15 August as I mention in my previous article CSS Flag: India.
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or sentiments through this article. As It could offend some people if their country's flag is slightly off point. I respect every country's flag and its people. If you find any mistakes in any of the flags then please let me know. I'll fix it as soon as possible.
If there are some issues with Codepen in mobile devices try to switch to the desktop mode or visit through desktop/laptop browsers.
I have used images (PNG) in some of the flags as well because it was kind of complex to create them.
The size of each flag is 300x200 pixels. Some of the countries' flags use different sizes. So It could be a little bit different due to the size difference.
