Responsive Age Calculator with Real-Time Cartoon Display.

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I’m most proud of how the overall look and feel of the project turned out — especially the combination of cartoon graphics, animated age counter, and neon-dark theme. It feels both fun and modern. I also added subtle animations and clean error handling, which improved the user experience.

If I had to do it differently next time, I would consider adding more interactivity like sound effects or theme switchers. I’d also try using a library like GSAP for smoother animations and maybe add local storage to remember the user’s last input.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

One of the main challenges was positioning the elements properly, especially keeping the cartoon image and the animated age display aligned nicely. It took several adjustments using CSS positioning and z-index to make it look balanced. Another issue was making sure the text was visible over the background, which I solved by changing font colors and adding dark gradient layers behind some elements.

Adding quotes without disturbing the main layout was also tricky. I experimented with different placements and finally found a spot that felt natural.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I'd appreciate feedback on the overall visual design and responsiveness of the layout — especially how the cartoon image, animated age, and quotes are positioned across different screen sizes. I’d also like help improving the smoothness of animations and suggestions to make the design feel more modern and engaging without using external libraries. Any advice on optimizing the CSS structure or improving accessibility would also be helpful.
