Code in the Dark

What is Code in the Dark

Code in the Dark is a front-end (HTML, CSS) competition, originating from Tictail, where each contestant competes to implement a website design given only a screenshot.

The catch is that no previews of the results are allowed during the implementation, and no measuring tools can be used. The winner is decided by the audience.

This is the first edition ever held in Italy and is organised by Sketchin in partnership with Talent Garden in the shortest and darkest day of the year!

The Rules

• Each contestant receives a bundle of the editor, which includes a screenshot of the page they should implement with HTML/CSS and any additional assets they might need.
• Contestants should bring their own notebook (Mac or PC)
• No iframes, frameworks, snippets or other assets outside of the ones listed in the instructions are allowed. The site should be built from scratch during the competition.
• The contestant should have the editor in full-screen mode and is never allowed to exit out of it or use any measurement tools.
• Previews of the results are strictly forbidden until the time is over.
• Once the 20-minute timer runs out each contestant presents their result to the audience, who then vote on their favourite to decide the winner.
• The winner will be crowned Queen or King of Code and will receive a small yet useful prize
