Welcome to CSSBattle Challenges!
In this short article, I go through my solution for CSSBattle - #18 Matrix challenge. Please refer to the code snippet below to get a better insight into my thought processes and the implementation detail.
Challenge:
Solution:
<div class="container">
<div class="box bg-orange"></div>
<div class="box bg-lightyellow"></div>
<div class="box bg-orange"></div>
<div class="box bg-lightyellow"></div>
<div class="box bg-lightyellow"></div>
<div class="box bg-orange"></div>
<div class="box bg-lightyellow"></div>
<div class="box bg-orange"></div>
<div class="box bg-orange"></div>
<div class="box bg-lightyellow"></div>
<div class="box bg-orange"></div>
<div class="box bg-lightyellow"></div>
</div>
<style>
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.container {
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
display: grid;
grid-template-rows: repeat(3, calc(320px / 4));
grid-template-columns: repeat(4, calc(320px / 4));
grid-gap: 20px;
padding: 10px;
background: #5C434C;
}
.box {
border-top-left-radius: 100%;
}
.bg-orange {
background: #F09462;
}
.bg-lightyellow {
background: #F5D6B4;
}
</style>
Key Takeaway(s):
- using
display: gridto align contents both horizontally and vertically at the same time- using
grid-gapproperty to create equal spacing between all the grid elements
As always, I welcome any feedback or questions regarding the implementation detail of the challenge. Otherwise, I hope this was useful!

The solution I came up with, also using grid and nth-child selectors
body{
margin: 10px 10px;
background: #5C434C;
}
div {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background: #F09462;
border-radius: 100% 0 0;
box-shadow: 100px 0 #F5D6B4, 200px 0 #F09462, 300px 0 #F5D6B4, 0 100px #F5D6B4, 100px 100px #F09462, 200px 100px #F5D6B4, 300px 100px #F09462, 0px 200px #F09462, 100px 200px #F5D6B4, 200px 200px #F09462, 300px 200px #F5D6B4
}
it can be also be made just with box-shadows, im just started coding, so im trying this challenges with the most easy for me
