Newtons Cradle

Five hairline balls hang from strings in an iso frame. The accent striker falls into impact, the far ball answers with true pendulum easing, and the middle three give a tiny shiver.

Customizing this snippet

  • Color: set --hln-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
  • Base size: set --hln-size. Every other dimension is in em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 16px.
  • Speed: change the duration on the transition or animation shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
  • Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
