Reflection with CSS

 I realised you can do a reflection along the 'x' axix with a 'transform' of 'scale(-1,1)'.


I was going to rotate the element 180 degrees around the 'z' axis.  This might involve more complex 'sine' and 'cosine' functions.

How a CSS fish animation works

Image
 I have been adapting an animation of fish circling as in a bowl with bubbles rising in the middle. The original is by Yusuke Nakaya. See:      'codepen.io/YusukeNakaya/pen/WNopRwX' The fish are made of CSS triangles:     .pfshFish-body .pfshScale {         width: 0;         height: 0;         border-width: 0 0 3.125em 6.25em;     @keyframes fishColor {       0% {         border-color: transparent transparent #6C99C6 transparent; The triangles are reflected around the 'x' and 'y' axes to make one side of the body of the fish:     .pfshFish-body .pfshScale.-pfshTop.-pfshFront {         transform: scale(1, 1) skewX(4.5deg) rotateY(-11deg) rotateX(23deg)                    translate(0.09375em, 0.15625em);     }     .pfshFish-body .pfshScale.-pfshTop.-pfshBack...

Overriding 'alert' to write to 'console.log'

Image
 I define my own global function 'alert' that writes the message using 'console.log'.  I still use 'alerts' for debugging. I can leave the alerts in when going live and just override the 'alert' function. I also still debug by adding colored backgrounds to HTML elements. The debugger on my old Konqueror browser hangs the browser. The browser is 15 years old and I compiled it myself (slightly wrongly) from the sources.

Simple animation spacing out letters in an centred phrase

Image
 Animating the 'letter-spacing' of a centred piece of text is simple and looks nice. There is an example on 'codepen.io':     'codepen.io/Bert-Beckwith/pen/myVBZdw' This was one of my first animations for my game. I used JavaScript to do the animation. This looks a bit jerky but uses much less resources than the smoother simple CSS animation above.
