sorry i havent read that

13eck•3mo ago

I figured. That's why I pointed it out to you :p

damn•3mo ago

so i was using percentages but i know it doesnt work because they use viewport ones but if i give width in pixels is may not be responsive at some point

13eck•3mo ago

What are you trying to do? What do you mean by "responsive"? What's the goal? Percentages are always "responsive" as they respond to the parent container's size. Pixels are never responsive as they are the same size

.bingospace{
    height: 80%;
    width: 95%;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;

}
.nextplayer{
    height: 15%;
    font-size: 0.8rem;
    color: white;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;

.bingocard{
    height: 50%;
    width: 50%;
    background-color: black;
}
.bingooptions{
    height: calc(85%-300px);

    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    gap:1em;
    align-items: center;
}
.bo{

}

.bingopage{
   
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-image: url(/pics/new4.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    display: flex;

    background-color: rgba(245, 245, 245, 0.182);
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
}



.bingotext{
    height: 20%;
    width: 95%;
    /* min-height:100px; */
    /* background-color: rgb(22, 22, 4); */

.small{
    font-size: 0.7rem;
    color:white;
    font-weight: 500;
    text-align: center;
}

.bingospace{
    height: 80%;
    width: 95%;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;

}
.nextplayer{
    height: 15%;
    font-size: 0.8rem;
    color: white;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    font-weight: 600;
}
.bingocard{
    height: 50%;
    width: 50%;
    background-color: black;
}
.bingooptions{
    height: calc(85%-300px);

    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    gap:1em;
    align-items: center;
}
.bo{

}

finally so height: calc(85%-300px); ignore this i forgot to remove

13eck•3mo ago

calc requires spaces around + and - Otherwise it sees +2 as a positive unit and -2 as a negative unit

damn•3mo ago

oh any solve for square thing .bingocard

13eck•3mo ago

I'm still not sure at all what you're trying to accomplish. What's the goal? If you want a square you need to set the height and width to be the same. That's gonna be difficult to maintain on mobile views as the screen is pretty narrow. Would a rectangle work? If you want it to be responsive a square is gonna be extremely difficult. With a square you need to constantly change the font size to keep the aspect ratio and at a certain point the font is too small to read comfortably. With a rectangle you don't have to adjust the font size and just adjust the width of the element and let it grow in height as-needed

damn•3mo ago

so the bingo actually is a game of 2 players In which a bingo board contains 5x5 squares with random 1 to 25 numbers first one to complete the 5 winning postions like a column a diagonal or a row wins

Chris Bolson•3mo ago

I don't fully understand what you are trying to achieve as your Codepen looks incomplete, at least it doesn't have any squares within the card. I suspect that you may be adding them via JS or simply haven't added them for the purpose of the demo. That said, with modern CSS if you ever need a square the simplest method is to use aspect-ratio: 1; and only set either the width or the height.

damn•3mo ago

yes js is used to dynamically add the inner squares with numbers

Chris Bolson•3mo ago

I am pretty sure you could get what you want using aspect-ratio, both on the container (which I presume would be a grid) and the number cells themselves.

Chris Bolson•3mo ago

Something like this (I played around with the font-size and set a min with for the container) https://codepen.io/cbolson/pen/KKjWoOO
