Mastering CSS Animations for Terminal Effects

CSS animations can bring life to any interface, but they're especially powerful for creating retro terminal effects. Let's explore some techniques.

##The Typing Effect

The classic typing animation is achieved by animating the width of an element while using overflow: hidden and a monospace font.

@keyframes typing {
  from { width: 0; }
  to { width: 100%; }
}

.typing-text {
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  animation: typing 2s steps(40) forwards;
}
