The sheer length of that GIF made me laugh! It seems my post had the desired affect! 🤣

by the way, you don't have to use all those pseudo elements (I know you copied my code structure 😒). Applying the clip-path to the main element is enough. I used pseudo element to reduce the need of the html code and because I have to apply a filter to the parent element

Yeah I did just grab the code structure, it was only when I was half way through I realised it was not necessary (I did think it was needed and then my brain finally worked after about 2 hours!), but I had already hard coded it into about 15 different places and I couldn't be arsed to remove it...so I just left it 🤣

Serves me right for copying without thinking! I also realised I didn't need loads of other properties as I was using vw units, so I could have just used them throughout and work as if the whole screen was the canvas....would have made the calculations a lot easier as I could have divided by 10 instead of 9.77 when calculating the positions as percentages!

Hence why this is not a tutorial...I made many many blunders! lol!

I don’t know why I don’t ask you to just look at stuff I am working on with CSS…would save me loads of faffing as you spot stuff so quickly ❤️!
