What you're building
An interactive lab for CSS animations: sliders and dropdowns control duration, timing function, animation type (spin, bounce, pulse, slide), and iteration count, all applied live to a preview box using CSS custom properties. By the end, you'll deeply understand exactly what each CSS animation property actually does, because you'll have watched every one of them change something in real time.
