The Code Box
This page compiles links to HTML and CSS resources for web design, ROM hacking and assembly programming resources, and a section for scientific programming.
HTML and CSS Tutorials
- The HTML Hobbyist
- HTML and CSS tutorials, focus on good practice.
- Learn HTML and CSS with Sadgrl from Neocities
- Sadgrl has made a lot of useful tutorials with a focus on practical advice on layouts and getting your first Neocities Site up and running.
Web Colours
- The Default Named HTML Color Codes
- HTML and CSS include colour names, this site lists the HEX codes associated with those colours so you can look up if they meet contrast or other accesibility requirements.
- Web Safe Colours
- Web Safe Colours is a concept that was more popular in the early web where monitors had a lower colour depth (displayed less colours). This site shows those colours.
Web Search
- Ecosia
- A carbon neutral, privacy-focused web browser and plants a tree for every search. This is my preferred web browser. There is more than Google.
- DuckDuckGo
- A privacy focused web browser, and my second favorite web browser.
- RestorativLand
- Here you can browse an archive of Geocities based on neighbourhood. It has homepage snapshot previews for each website in the directory.
- OoCities
- Another Geocities archived organised by neighbourhood however unlike RestorativLand it has a generic numeric directory so it's more of a mystery what you'll get when you click on it.

ROM Hacking
Awhile back I had a brief obsession with understanding more of the coding side of the Game Boy and Game Boy Colour so I collected these resources.
- The Cutting Room Floor
- A site dedicated to researching and documenting unused content from video games, such as debug menus, graphics, music, enemies, levels, and more.
- Learn Multi platform Z80 Assembly Programming... With Vampires!
- ChibiAkumas has a great tutorial series and YouTube channel for teaching Assembly programming for different systems (including Game Boy Colour, etc).
- Z80 Architecture and Documentation
- This website has a lot of technical information and documentation of the Z80 which is organised very neatly and with a minimal HTML/CSS site. Also has assembly language programming tutorials.
- Pan Docs
- Pan Docs is an open source effort to technical reference to the Game Boy available, in development since 1995. They even have a Discord Channel.
- Game Boy Dev (GBDev)
- A website which can teach you how to make games for the Game Boy and Game Boy Colour (assembly language specific).
- Game Boy Programming Manual
- The original programming manual released in 1999.
Scientific Programming
- Introduction to Working with MRI Data in Python
- A hands-on tutorial about working with open source MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data in Python.
- How to Set Up a Virtual Environment for Python Using Anaconda
- Instructions using a command terminal how to set up a virtual environment with Anaconda. Virtual environments help separate libraries from each other for particular projects.
- Customize your Jupyter Notebook Theme in 2 lines of code
- Change your Jupyter Notebook to use a dark mode or something else. I tend to use Monokai.
