HTML
CSS

The code snippet begins with a simple HTML element, a button, identified by the class .game-button. This element serves as the foundation for applying CSS styles, transforming a basic button into a visually appealing interactive element on a webpage.

Diving into the CSS, the .game-button class is styled to create a unique visual appearance. The text-shadow property is used to add a multi-directional shadow to the text, enhancing its depth and making it stand out. Moreover, the background property employs a repeating-linear-gradient to produce a striped effect, giving the button a dynamic and textured look. The use of border properties adds further dimension with a subtle 3D effect, while the border-radius property rounds the corners for a modern, soft appearance.

The CSS also includes pseudo-elements ::before and ::after for the button, creating additional decorative elements that appear in specific positions relative to the button. These pseudo-elements are styled with a high degree of customization, including rounded borders and specific positioning, to add complexity and visual interest to the button’s overall design. The box-shadow property is extensively applied to give the button a pronounced shadow effect, contributing to a sense of depth and making the button appear to lift off the page when hovered over. This shadow effect is a key aspect of the design, creating a tactile feel that invites interaction.
