Thank you so much Nick! It was exciting to work on. It was a nice way to train my eye to visualize shadows with CSS too.

Totally! Box shadows are so much fun. A random object around the house is a good start, or something off of an image. Mozilla Developer Network is a handy resource for experimenting with properties as well. Have fun! Look forward to seeing what you come up with 🙂

Thank you Nándor!

Sometimes I can not understand what CSS is capable

Same here. It's mind boggling seeing intricate and immersive visuals produced with CSS.

Hey Bramley

Thank you for the kind words Anthony!

I need a map of where you got all of that time, patience, and talent from!

The patience, time, and results came from the will to try and have fun! Failure is unnerving, but it's how we view and handle failure that makes a difference. View it as a learning experience. Ask yourself why this outcome took place instead of the desired outcome. More importantly, have fun with the process! Once you learn the basics, see what you can come up with. I learned most of what I know from MDN's CSS Basics article, and MDN's CSS Concepts page. Once I got the basics, I just had fun with it. Haha people totally judged me at first, but that didn't stop me from doing it. I was learning and having fun! You know what they say, "Creativity is intelligence having fun." You can do it. Take your time with it, don't compare yourself to others, let yourself have fun with the learning process, and style away! Best of luck. 🙂

Thank you very much! Thank you for sharing the bug as well. I just patched it on CodePen with the muted attribute. The audio worked when I added the playsinline attribute (I don't feel the audio is necessary. I was just curious lol).

I looked into it further. It turns out Chrome updated their autoplay policy for UX improvements:

...web browsers are moving towards stricter autoplay policies in order to improve the user experience, minimize incentives to install ad blockers, and reduce data consumption on expensive and/or constrained networks.

Another interesting tidbit is Chrome uses a Media Engagement Index (MEI), which is the ratio of visits to media playback events emitted, to determine if a video should play automatically. That's why autoplay still works on sites like YouTube, Instagram, etc. Pretty neat!

I'll add this snippet in the code so that ACNH fans can enjoy the intro audio if they wish.

<video id="video" muted autoplay>
<button id="unmuteButton"></button>

<script>
  unmuteButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
    video.muted = false;
  });
</script>

The gameplay is a video (see the source code). If it were CSS, my head would explode. 🤯

Thank you!!

Thank you squid! They totally were at first since I didn't use them to its full potential until now. Once I figured out how to translate the shadows from my reference as meticulously as possible with the right units, it became so much easier. 🙂

Thank you Darryl!
