Animating in React
summary
Shows a concrete stack and what actually worked: an SVG 2D side‑scroller elephant game built with React using SVG heart meter updates for score, collision detection on a RAF loop, and item spawning via tweens. Uses GreenSock (GSAP) for cross‑browser timelines and sequencing, uses react‑motion for physicsy, interruptible staggers, and contrasts DOM/SVG vs canvas tradeoffs. Includes code patterns: stroke‑dasharray drawing, hardware‑accelerated transforms, and when to prefer JS animation over CSS.
