Poker chip CSS only checkbox

For this Sunday Funday project, I decided to make a poker chip checkbox out of pure CSS.

DEMO



The idea is that it will flip on its right edge like when people flip chips between their fingers. This can be improved by using images to get a correct dashed edge or make it more lifelike but this is CSS only.


Tutorial

1. The markup
We need a container to set the background and the size and width, we need the label to be clickable anywhere, input for the checkbox, top and bottom of the chip.

<div class="container">
 <label for="chip-checkbox"></label>
 <input type="checkbox" name="chip" value="1" id="chip-checkbox">
 <div class="bottom-side"></div>
 <div class="top-side"></div>
</div>
2. Hide the input

input {
 visibility: hidden;
}
3. Set the width and height of the background/container

.container {
 width: 80px;
 height: 40px;
 border-radius: 50px;
 background-color: #18894B;
 position: relative;
        box-shadow: -3px 3px 1px 0px #3e3b3b6b;
}
4. Make the label fit the container
*we also need the z-index so we pick up all the clicks if you remove this you cannot click on the chips


label {
 z-index: 1;
 width: 80px;
 height: 40px;
 border-radius: 50px;
 position: absolute;
 left: 0px;
}
5. Create the chips
The chips will sit on top of each other so that when we animate it they will flip correctly.
Turns into this (blue is behind)



.bottom-side, .top-side {
 width: 22px;
 height: 22px;
 border-radius: 100%;
 position: absolute;
 top: 3px;
 left: 4px;
 display: block;
 margin: 0;
}
.bottom-side {
 background-color: white;
 border: 6px dashed #0D0088;
}
.top-side {
 background-color: white;
 border: 6px dashed #880000;
 backface-visibility: hidden;
}
6. Animation
The first thing we need to do is add some perspective to the container, this allows the CSS to animate in 3d.

.conatiner {
 perspective: 800px;
}
Then we need to add the transition properties to the chips. This sets the speed, the start (origin) point of the animation and tell it we are using 3d.
.bottom-side, .top-side {
 transition: all 1s ease;
 transform-origin: right;
 transform-style: preserve-3d;
}
Then we need to animate it when the input is checked. We move it to the position on the right using left 7px and rotate it to get the flip. Once its un-checked it will go back to the start position.
* the ~ selects all the divs next to the input.
.container input[type=checkbox]:checked ~ div {
 left: 7px;
 transform: rotateY( -180deg );
}
7. Final touches Once the animation is all set we just need to add the words to the chips these can be anything.
.top-side:after {
 content: "Out";
 position: absolute;
 top: 3px;
 left: 0px;
}
.bottom-side:after {
 content: "In";
   position: absolute;
 top: 3px;
 left: 5px;
 transform: rotateY( 180deg );
}

8bit Mario with css grids

The point of this task was to get more familiar with css grids. I aimed to use as little divs as possible but I wanted it to be to scale.  You can view it below or on Codepen. See the Pen mario with grids by Mel ( @Mellydevs ) on CodePen . Making Mario As I was making a 8bit character I made a 64 by 64 grid and made each grid size 8px by 8px. This allowed me to make Mario to scale.  NB: I do not own anything to do with Mario I am just a fan :). So after using reference images I managed to make divs turn into Mario by changing their position in the grid and background colour. If you want to learn more about grids I recommend css tricks article on it  or Grid garden which is a game that helps you learn grids. It turned out quite good and I was happy with it. I thought I was done but then.... I thought why not make him do a idle animation, So I looked at some sprite sheets ( whats a sprite sheet? ) Kirby's idle seemed to be the easiest so I chose to t

Ionic RSS feed using Feednami

Tutorial of how to make a RSS feed using Feednami which is an alternative to google api which no longer works. This is a basic example and can be improved. First go ahead and make a new ionic project $ npm install -g cordova ionic $ ionic start exampleProject blank Now find index.html and insert... <script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/feednami-static /js/feednami-client-v1.0.1.js"></script> Into the header, then in <ion-content> below Ionic Blank Starter insert a new div <div id ="feed" ng-controller="feedCtrl"> </div> Open app.js, now we are going to make the controller from Feednami that will get our rss feed. .controller('feedCntl', function(){ var url = 'http://daringfireball.net/feeds/articles' feednami.load(url,function(result){ if(result.error){ console.log(result.error) } else{ var entries = result.feed.entries for(var i = 0; i < entri
