reduced the code by creating drops with JS and randomizing CSS settings for each one

Answer 2

In my browser your code does not work, and for +900 lines of code should be needed the cross-browser compatibility.
Remember that more lines in most cases don't make you a good programmer, less lines for do the same thing are always the best solution.
For your question, if i understand correctly (and maybe not, tell me if i'm wrong)... you want to apply same property to multiple elements with some changes beetwen them, you can separate your selectors with the "," then apply your single changes to specific elements:
element-1, element-2 { /* common rules */ }
element-1 { /* unique rules */ }
[ EDIT ]
Keyframes are not compatible with my browser, use this syntax:
@-webkit-keyframes
An use it for "transform" property too.

Answer 3

What a nice outcome 😍☁☔
@Burey that reduction was outstanding!! 😍👌
May I ask you a question, how can we make this animation compatible with SL's app WebView?
I added the prefix -webkit- in the CSS for keyframes and transform, but it's not working, I assume because we have to add the prefix to the css animation property, which is manipulated with JS.
I guess my real question is, can we set the animation property using the webkit prefix in JS?
This is what we have:
cloud.style.animation="cloud-motion "+(Math.random()*10+5)+"s infinite";
Can we do something like the following? Or is there another way?
cloud.style.webkitanimation = ...
Thanks 😊

Answer 4

45 lines only, you're a master @Burey! 😱

Answer 5

@Kirk_Schafer you couldn't be any more precise, I was able to "fix" an animation with this :P thank you sooooo much for all the detailed resources! 😊👌 I hope those flags replace vendor prefixes soon, I would save a decent amount of lines in my animation codes. Thanks again 😊!

By the way, vendor prefixes are such a big problem--they're not supposed to be used in production--that vendors are looking towards 'flags'.

Answer 15

@U L... it's amazing what you can do by reusing work--whether that's lines in a loop, an included library or functions.
But it is learned. I've seen self-taught programmers... owning big businesses... copy code instead of reusing it; because no one had ever shown them anything else. It worked but it was kinda painful.
You're in a good position here because you're getting alternatives in a timely way -- at the pain point -- and I really hope it all works for you :)
