    My favorite first-person shooter game growing up was Counter-Strike. Now this nostalgic game has been portablized. So in this episode, I show you how to install a Counter-strike server on an Android device.

    [/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Installation” tab_id=”1402713028-2-395270-7c72″][vc_column_text]

    How To Install

    The portable Counter-Strike initiative isn’t backed by the original distributors of the game, so it isn’t supported by Valve or the original Counter-Strike creators. So to grab the unsupported portable version of the game, you need to go to CS-portable.com. Across the top of the menu, you’ll see links to download the portable version, or to even play online. Keep in mind, though, that the online version can’t network with the portable versions.

    iOS Devices

    Installing CS portable on iOS devices is considerably more difficult than Android devices because of Apple’s strict App approval procedures. But here’s the basic procedure:

    1. Download a jailbreaking tool such as GreenPoison that matches the iOS version that you have installed (current version is 5.1.1).
    2. Jailbreak your iOS device and install cydia using these steps.
    3. Inside of Cydia, you need to install Installous. Here’s a nice guide to help you do that.
    4. Now you can use Installous to download and install CS portable. Here are a couple of guides to help out with that: [Guide 1] [Guide 2]

    Android Devices

    For Android devices, the process is much simpler.

    1. In the settings of your android device, make sure that your applications are set to allow unknown sources.
    2. Now you can download the CS-portable APK file for android to your computer and use a method, such as Dropbox to transfer it to your device.
    3. Using a file browser/explorer, find and open up the CS-portable APK file

    Now you should just be able to open it up like a regular App and start playing!

    A responsive website is a website that changes it’s size and shape so that it can be viewed properly on any device. This is a tutorial that shows you the steps on how to make your own responsive website. Before jumping in, it’s best to watch my beginners guide to HTML and CSS at the links below.

    [/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Code” tab_id=”1402753910272-3-8123b-77946048-92947b1b-34c3″][vc_button title=”View sample Site” target=”_blank” icon=”none” size=”btn-huge” href=”http://tinkernut.com/demos/315_responsive/index_responsive.html”][vc_column_text]

    How Does A Responsive Website Work?

    A new addition to CSS3 is an element called a Media query, so if you haven’t already, take a look at my CSS tutorial before continuing. A media query allows CSS code to be executed only when certain constraints are met. For instance, you can set the media query to turn the background color of the webpage blue only when the browser size is 480px. So using media queries, you can have several different sets of CSS for your website that can be activated for many different devices or any browser sizes.

     

    How To Create Media Queries

    Media Queries are elements of CSS3, so they go in the CSS portion of your webpage. Normally the CSS is located in the header using style tags. To create a media query, just add the code below to your CSS:

    <style>
@media {
}
</style>

    Then after the @media declaration, you can set the parameters you want to target, such as browser size or device size. For browsers, you can use the max-width attribute. For devices, you can use the max-device-width attribute. To set the media parameters in between a maximum value and a minimum value, you can use both the max-width and min-width attributes within the same parameter.

    <style>
@media screen and (max-width:480px){
}
</style>

    This is an example of a max and min parameter:

    <style>
@media screen and (max-width:800px) and (min-width: 480px){
}
</style>

    The only thing left to do now is to add your own custom CSS code in between the curly brackets. The CSS can be minimal changes, or you can completely change the design and makeup of the entire site. How much or how little is completely up to you.

    <style>
@media screen and (max-width:480px) {
     div.main{
	width:300px;
     }
     div.row2col1{
	font-size:0.5em;
     }
     img{
	width: 250px;
     }
     p.welcome {
	font-size:0.8em;
     }
     p.content {
	font-size:0.7em;
     }
					
}
</style>

     

     

    Sample Website Code

    Below is a finished copy of the webpage code used in the video:

    <html>
	<head>
		<title>My Data</title>
		<style>

			@media screen and (max-width:800px) and (min-width: 480px) {
					div.main{

					div.row2col1{

					p.welcome {
