It could be interesting if the code wasn't hand-coded and was auto-generated from an image editing tool

As some other people said (while, unfortunately, missed the whole point of the exercise said), this is completely impractical and the altogether the wrong technology to actually _do_ this sort of thing in production. It's really just meant to push boundaries and be a demo of what can be done in CSS (at least I hope that's the intent).

If you're going to tackle the "autogenerate" problem, it's probably a lot more interesting to do so in SVG or something of that ilk.

I don't want to disappoint you but it was hand-coded in the same Codepen.io editor :P

Regards!

I think he meant that it would be even more interesting to have a tool that would autogenerate the css from a drawing.
Yeah, that is why i said this is not the case unfortunately. :(
I had the same idea. And it made me think hard for a few minutes :).
