Inspiration
Some of my programmer friends from school are pretty good at CSS, so when one of them introduced me to this beginner-friendly hackathon, I knew it would be the perfect thing for me to learn more CSS and make something that stands out. I always really enjoy fun things made with CSS, especially the things my friends make, so I wanted to give it a shot too.
What it does
To sum it up, it's a small, clean, webpage where you can click and interact with almost everything. It's full of surprises!
How I built it
The programming languages I used were just plain old HTML and CSS. I used a lot of built in CSS keyframe animations, plus using things like :active and :hover to check when things are being clicked on. Another big part of making this was researching and learning about HTML and CSS, whether it be from the internet or from my friend, which definitely helped me get the project to where it is now
Challenges I ran into
Speaking of HTML and CSS, a big challenge in this was making things without JavaScript. Usually, websites primarily use JS to make things interactive, so it was tough trying to do the same thing without any scripting. CSS was tough to do this, since there isn't any real control of flow like in normal programming languages. So considering my limited knowledge of HTML, making this webpage was a difficult challenge
What's next?
My accomplishments while making this is probably just how much CSS and HTML. I've never really been one to use lots of these programming languages, using mostly JavaScript every chance I get. I've never really tried out webdesign in general, either, since I focus mostly on making games with the canvas element. After working on this hackathon, I feel more confident in my ability to create interesting things with HTML, and would definitely like to try it out. I don't think anything else will happen with this project, but I sure know I'm going to create things like it, but better. (And not on a time crunch...)
