Time Travelling CSS With :target

Checkbox and radio button hacks are the (in)famous trick for creating games using just CSS. But it turns out that other elements based on user input can be hacked and gamified. There are very cool examples of developers getting creative with CSS games based on the :hover pseudo-class, and even other games based on the :valid pseudo-class.

What I’ve found, though, is that the :target pseudo-class seems relatively unexplored territory in this area of CSS hacking. It’s an underrated powerful CSS feature when you think about it: :target allows us to style anything based on the selected jump link, so we have a primitive version of client-side routing built into the browser! Let’s go mad scientist with it and see where that takes us.

Unbeatable AI in CSS

Did I type those words together? Are we going to hack CSS so hard that we hit the singularity? Try to beat the stylesheet below at Tic Tac Toe and decide for yourself.

The stylesheet will sometimes allow the game to end in a draw, so you at least have a smidge of hope.

No need to worry! CSS hasn’t gone Skynet on us yet. Like any CSS hack, the rule of thumb to determine whether a game is possible to implement with CSS is the number of possible game states. I learned that when I was able to create a 4 ×4 S udoku solver but found a 9×9 version pretty darn near impossible. That’s because CSS hacks come down to hiding and showing game states based on selectors that respond to user input.

Tic Tac Toe has 5 ,478 legal states reachable if X moves first and there’s a famous algorithm that can calculate the optimal move for any legal state. It stands to reason, then, that we can hack together the Tic Tac Toe game completely in CSS.

OK, but how?

In a way, we are not hacking CSS at all, but rather using CSS as the Lord Almighty intended: to hide, show, and animate stuff. The “intelligence” is how the HTML is generated. It’s like a “choose your own adventure” book of every possible state in the Tic Tac Toe multiverse with the empty squares linked to the optimal next move for the computer.

We generate this using a mutant version of the minimax algorithm implemented in Ruby. And did you know that since CodePen supports HAML (which supports Ruby blocks), we can use it secretly as a Ruby playground? Now you do.

Each state our HAML generates looks like this in HTML:


<div class="b" id="--OOX----">
  <svg class="o s">
    <circle></circle>
  </svg>

  <a class="s" href="#OXOOX----">
    <div></div>
  </a>

  <svg class="o s">
    <circle class="c"></circle>
  </svg>

  <svg class="o s">
    <circle class="c"></circle>
  </svg>

  <div class="x"></div>

  <a class="s" href="#O-OOXX---">
    <div></div>
  </a>

  <a class="s" href="#O-OOX-X--">
    <div></div>
  </a>

  <a class="s" href="#O-OOX--X-">
    <div></div>
  </a>

  <a class="s" href="#O-OOX---X">
    <div></div>
  </a>
</div>

With a sprinkling of surprisingly straightforward CSS, we will display only the currently selected game state using :target selectors. We’ll also add a .c class to historical computer moves — that way, we only trigger the handwriting animation for the computer’s latest move. This gives the illusion that we are only playing on a single gameboard when we are, in reality, jumping between different sections of the document.

/* Game's parent container */
.b, body:has(:target) #--------- {
  /* Game states */
  .s {
    display: none;
  }
}

/* Game pieces with :target, elements with href */
:target, #--------- {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px; /
  left: calc(50vw - 150px);
  top: calc(50vh - 150px);
  background-image: url(/path/to/animated/grid.gif);
  background-repeat:  no-repeat;
  background-size: 100% auto;
  
  /* Display that game state and bring it to the forefront  */
  .s {
    z-index: 1;
    display: inline-block;
  }
  
  /* The player's move */
  .x {
    z-index: 1;
    display: inline-block;
    background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml [...]"); /** shortened for brevity **/ 
    height: 100px;
    width: 100px;
  }
  
  /* The browser's move */
  circle {
    animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    animation-name: draw;
    animation-duration: 1s;
    
    /* Only animate the browser's latest turn */
    &.c {
      animation-play-state: paused;
      animation-delay: -1s;
    }
  }
}

When a jump link is selected by clicking an empty square, the :target pseudo-class displays the updated game state(.s), styled so that the computer’s precalculated response makes an animated entrance (.c).

Note the special case when we start the game: We need to display the initial empty grid before the user selects any jump link. There is nothing to style with :target at the start, so we hide the initial state — with the:body:has(:target) #--------- selector — once a jump link is selected. Similarly, if you create your experiments using :target you’ll want to present an initial view before the user begins interacting with your page.

Wrapping up

I won’t go into “why” we’d want to implement this in CSS instead of what might be an “easier” path with JavaScript. It’s simply fun and educational to push the boundaries of CSS. We could, for example, pull this off with the classic checkbox hack — some one did, in fact.

Is there anything interesting about using :target instead? I think so because:

We can save games in CSS! Bookmark the URL and come back to it anytime in the state you left it.
There’s a potential to use the browser’s Back and Forward buttons as game controls. It’s possible to undo a move by going Back in time or replay a move by navigating Forward. Imagine combining :target with the checkbox hack to create games with a time-travel mechanic in the tradition of Braid.
Share your game states. There’s the potential of Wordle-like bragging rights. If you manage to pull off a win or a draw against the unbeatable CSS Tic Tac Toe algorithm, you could show your achievement off to the world by sharing the URL.
It’s completely semantic HTML. The checkbox hack requires you to hide checkboxes or radio buttons, so it will always be a bit of a hack and painful horse-trading when it comes to accessibility. This approach arguably isn’t a hack since all we are doing is using jump links and divs and their styling. This may even make it — dare I say —“easier” to provide a more accessible experience. That’s not to say this is accessible right out of the box, though.

Quick Hit #17

“Wrapping the <label> around the <input> is fine, and is sufficient for conformance on its own, however adding explicit association with for and id is still necessary in practice.” —James Edwards

5 Tips for Giving a Business Presentation with Impact

Making a business presentation is not always about selling, most of the time it’s about education and persuasion. These tips will help you achieve that goal by creating a killer presentation.

1. Use the Power of Storytelling

Watch a few TED talks and you’ll notice how every talk starts with a story. This is not something only used in TED talks but an effective strategy used to make impactful business presentations as well.

Storytelling is a great way to create an emotional bond with your audience right from the very beginning of your presentation and it helps capture the attention of your audience throughout your speech. It will also allow you to create a strong narrative for your presentation as well.

Create a story for your speech. It doesn’t always have to be a true story. Invent a character if you have to or even try making it funny. It works every time!

2. Design an Attractive Slideshow

The slides you use in your presentation is arguably the most important aspect of a business presentation. Whether you’re presenting to a small group of investors or a large audience, everyone will always be glancing at the slides for reference and context.

Hinx - Creative Keynote Presentation Template

Especially when creating business presentations, be mindful to create professional slides with a minimal content layout. Use a great font to improve readability and add stylish photos as well.

3. Use Charts, Graphs, and Infographics

If there’s one thing every business presentation has that’s statistics. Every business presentation uses statistics and data to prove certain key points and make an impact. Make sure to highlight these key points in your slideshow.

Find a presentation template that comes with editable charts, graphs, and infographics you can use to highlight stats and data throughout your presentation.

4. Take Advantage of Colors and Animations

While it’s generally a good idea to avoid using too many animations in business presentation, there are certain situations you can use them to your advantage. For example, when delivering multiple key points in your presentation you can use reveal animations to show those points one by one or even surprise the audience with product reveals.

Redialo - Branding Guideline Keynote Template

You can also use your slideshow color palette to effectively highlight key points in your presentations and highlight keywords and call to actions more easily.

5. Be Consistent

Above all, always do your best to preserve consistency across all aspects of your speech, including your speech, slides, gestures, and even your voice.

Especially, be persistent with the colors you use, the fonts, images, and shapes you use in your presentations.
