Today, I messed around with something I saw online – those crazy animated backgrounds. You know, the ones with all the moving shapes and colors? I wanted to see if I could make one myself.
Getting Started
First, I needed a basic HTML setup. Nothing fancy, just a blank page to hold everything.
Then came the CSS. This is where the magic happens, right? I figured I’d start with a simple solid color background, just to make sure everything was working. I picked a nice, deep blue.
Adding Some Movement
Okay, solid color – boring! Time to add some action. I started experimenting with CSS animations. I found some tutorials online, copied some code snippets, and started tweaking things.
- First Attempt: Made some circles that just sort of… floated upwards. It looked okay, but kinda plain.
- Second Try: Added some color changes to the circles. Better! Now they pulsed with different shades of blue and purple.
- Feeling Bold: Decided to throw in some rotation. Whoa! This started to look way cooler. The circles were spinning, changing colors, and moving all over the place.
Tweaking and Refining
After playing around with the animation properties for a while (and honestly, getting a little dizzy watching all the movement), I started to fine-tune things. I changed the speed of the animations, the size of the circles, and the way they moved.
It took a bunch of trial and error. I’d change something, refresh the page, see how it looked, and then tweak it some more. It was a lot of going back and forth, but it was pretty fun to see how each small change affected the overall effect.
Final Result
Eventually, I ended up with something I was pretty happy with. It’s a background with a bunch of colorful circles, spinning and moving in different directions. It’s definitely “crazy,” just like I wanted! It’s not perfect, and there are probably a million ways to make it even better, but for a first try, I think it turned out pretty neat.
I still have a lot to learn about CSS animations, but this was a fun little experiment. Maybe next time I’ll try adding some different shapes, or maybe even some interactive elements. The possibilities seem endless! It’s always a good time to learn somthing new.
