By leveraging CSS 3D transforms and focal blur filters, it simulates a physical deck of cards where background items appear distant and out of focus, settling into a clear layout only upon interaction.

This Pure CSS Synthwave 80s Animation captures the nostalgic aesthetic of the 1980s retrowave genre. It features a complete animated scene: an infinite neon grid, a setting sun with scanlines, shaking palm trees, and a DeLorean driving into the distance. The scene is brought to life with a driving synthwave audio track and intricate CSS-only motion.

This 3D Tilt Maze Game recreates the classic wooden labyrinth toy using web technologies. By combining CSS perspective with JavaScript keyboard events, it simulates a physical board that tilts to roll a ball.
