Set Up the Project

In this step, you will set up the project files and structure. Follow the steps below to complete this step:

Open the project folder, which contains the following files and directories:

├── css
│   └── style.css
└── index.html

Here:

• index.html is the main page.
• css/style.css is the file where you need to add the required styles.

Click on Go Live button in the bottom right corner of WebIDE, to run the project.

Next, open "Web 8080" on the top of the VM and refresh it manually and you will see the page.

Add the Screen

In this step, you will learn how to add the screen to the movie theater layout. Follow the steps below to complete this step:

1. Open the css/style.css file in your code editor.

2. Inside the .screen class, add the following CSS properties:

   .screen {
     background-color: #fff;
     height: 70px;
     width: 100%;
     transform: rotateX(-45deg);
     box-shadow: 0 3px 10px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
     color: #242333;
     text-align: center;
     line-height: 70px;
     font-size: 30px;
   }
   

   This will style the screen, setting its size, color, and adding a 3D rotation effect and a drop shadow.

Set Up the Seating Area

In this step, you will learn how to set up the seating area for the movie theater. Follow the steps below to complete this step:

1. Open the css/style.css file in your code editor.

2. Inside the .seat-area class, add the following CSS properties:

   .seat-area {
     display: flex;
     flex-wrap: wrap;
     margin-top: 40px;
   }
   

   This will create a flexible layout for the seating area, with the seats arranged in rows.

3. Next, target the .seat class and add the following CSS properties:

   .seat {
     background-color: #444451;
     height: 40px;
     width: 45px;
     border-top-left-radius: 10px;
     border-top-right-radius: 10px;
     margin-right: 10px;
     margin-top: 10px;
   }
   

   This will style the individual seats, setting their size, color, and adding rounded corners.

4. To create the desired spacing between the seats, add the following CSS rules:

   .seat:nth-child(8n + 2) {
     margin-right: 30px;
   }
   
   .seat:nth-child(8n + 6) {
     margin-right: 30px;
   }
   
   .seat:nth-child(8n + 0) {
     margin-right: 0;
   }
   

   This will add a 30px gap on the right side of the 2nd and 6th columns (adjacent to the aisles), and a 10px gap between the other seats.

Your movie theater layout is now complete! Refresh the browser window that is displaying the web page. The finished result is as follows:
