What CSSBattle is

CSSBattle is a web game for practicing HTML and CSS by recreating target images with as few code characters as possible. Scores reflect both how closely a submission matches its target and the number of characters used. Players can view targets and try code without logging in, but need to log in to submit and receive a score. Submissions cannot use JavaScript, SVG, images, or external assets.

A new Daily Target appears at 00:00 UTC each day, and those targets have no leaderboards. Battles offer unique targets with separate leaderboards, while private one-on-one Versus battles let players challenge friends. Gamified Learn courses use interactive levels and quizzes for beginners, intermediate learners, and experts. The free plan allows play only on the current day's Daily Target. CSSBattle PLUS costs $4.90 a month or $59 a year and adds access to more than 1,100 past Daily Targets and their top solutions, editor plugins, advanced stats, solution search and sharing, unlimited submission history, and a VSCode editor. Separate one-time Learn courses are also available.
