Hi Cranky,
Did you ever find a solution?
I have looked for this kind of thing before, and a search for "pure css
animations" on your favourite engine, will turn up some list of
examples. Many of which have code too.
These list have have a bunch of demos and code:
* https://devsnap.me/css-animation-examples
* https://freefrontend.com/css-animation-examples/
* https://frontendresource.com/css-animation-examples/
Maybe you will find something useful. And the rest of us can just scroll
and marvel at what is possible in a little HTML and CSS. (Ok from what I
have browsed, A LOT of CSS. ;) )
See you soon,
Andrew
