Usually because you can learn a lot by trying to limit yourself. These aren't experiments you would put in production usually but they help you learn new concepts in a fun way. And sometimes they are just for fun!
Of course this in particular is more for art and experimentation than practicality, but there are certain situations where constraints exist for very valid reasons (security being a huge one)... It's not impossible, but much harder to, say, pull XSS without a full programming language running.
OK, nope, I am legit impressed. Copied the HTML and compiled CSS into a local file, removed the sole font import. Totally works. From what I can see, leveraging webkit animation instructions and deterministic re-calculations that make it look like a random game...
Reminds me of the feats done with palette shifting for animating 8-bit scenes and even drawing completely new images into a static array of non-changing bits.

I love programming, it has been my passion since I was a kid, and will forever be my passion.
Holla! I'm Michael and I double as a software developer and technical writer. When I'm not slapping the keys on my keyboard to write code or docs, I either sleep or spend time browsing the internet.

what's the point of running a 2h marathon and get tired if we can simply use a car to reach the final line in 10min ? ;)
Great game. Thanx for sharing!
Could you replace this with a plain link or autoplay-disabled embed? The autoplay audio is kinda irritating.
sure

@lifelongthinker it was a rhetorical question :)
and I thought the calculator was a challenge 😀😀
WOW! This is so cool tennis court. Really appreciated. Actually, you should play tennis as well, I believe you will do wonders there as well.

So you are also a developer! I didn't know...
Wow. This is impressive.
Sass is JS in CSS 😂
This is amazing!
