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.

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 ? ;)
Could you replace this with a plain link or autoplay-disabled embed? The autoplay audio is kinda irritating.
sure
Great game. Thanx for sharing!

@lifelongthinker it was a rhetorical question :)
So you are also a developer! I didn't know...
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.
and I thought the calculator was a challenge ππ

That is a level of CSS I can only dream of having.... trying to reproduce some of these effects to learn from
This is amazing!
Wow. This is impressive.
Sass is JS in CSS π
This looks really cool!
Wow :)
Really cool!
Wow. Even the ball's shadow. This must've been super fun to create.
