Use These Tools In Order to Create Fun Integrated Effects

There are multiple websites that allow experienced and creative web designers to post projects that demonstrate the kinds of aesthetically striking interactive effects that can be rendered directly by web browsers through source code without the need for externally loaded media files. While codepen.io is a popular outlet that covers the mainstream programming languages HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, a similar website called codepad.co offers similar functionality but additionally supports the Python language. The two sites' similarities are such that the "Hamburger Menu" project uploaded by Alexandr Izumenko on codepen is also posted on codepad and lets users modify the syntax governing the project's code to see changes in the resulting project in the same way.
The project in question is a recreation of a common UI button resembling three lines arranged in the shape of a hamburger or sandwich. The commonly expected result of clicking it is that an accompanying menu interface or navigation bar will appear for the user, and if this "menu button" supports being clicked again so that the menu-like element will recede, it is sometimes made to toggle its shape to indicate which state it is in. The letter "X" is the most common option for visually conveying a button that collapses a menu.
The codepad project showcases a means of creating an interactive menu button in which the transition between the "hamburger" and "X" states flows smoothly. Since the former state includes one more line than the latter, the project compresses the top line into a dot that then moves downward and disappears in a way that subtly suggests that it "knocks" the other two lines into an "X" shape. Rather than simply reverse this animation to toggle the "X" shape back into the three lines, the shape is compressed into a red dot that bounces up while turning green and then drops back down; it quickly expands its shape to become three horizontal green lines again. The Hamburger Menu button's listed source code files reveal that most of the animation data lies within the CSS file; the JavaScript file simply handles the toggling interaction.
