What is CODE IN THE DARK?

Code in the Dark is a programming "competition" in the intersection of front-end knowledge, smoke machines and intense heart-beating music. Contestants try to recreate an image with only HTML and CSS without previewing it, before the audience decides who wins.

15 min
HTML/CSS
No previews
One champion

Dress code: 80s Neon

    If you don't want to participate you are more than welcome to just hang out, cheer and vote for your favorite! It's almost just as much fun to watch as it is to compete!

    All you need to know

    There will be food and beverages served during the evening. When you sign-in at the entrance you'll get tickets for food and some drinks. The bar is open during the whole night in case you are thirsty.

    Organized by

    D-sektionen

    D-sektionen is the student chapter for Computer Science and Engineering at LTH — a bunch of curious minds who love code, community, and occasionally arguing about tabs vs spaces. They organize everything from social events to tech collaborations, all with the goal of making student life a bit more fun
