In this article, we will be looking to the approach to create a glowing cube loader using

the CSS properties in HTML programming language.

To implement the glowing cube loader keyframe of CSS will play a major role in the
implementation.

Keyframes are an essential part of CSS animations. They allow developers to define a
series of styles or property changes at specific points during the animation duration. This
powerful feature enables precise control over the intermediate steps of an animation,
giving developers the ability to create complex and dynamic visual effects. In this article,
we will explore keyframes in CSS animations, their syntax, and various use cases.

The keyframes rule begins with the @keyframes keyword, followed by a name identifier
for the animation. Inside the keyframes block, we define multiple keyframe selectors
using percentage values or keywords such as "from" and "to" to specify the starting and
ending points of the animation.

Each keyframe selector represents a specific point in time during the animation. We can
define the desired CSS properties and values within each selector. As the animation
progresses from one keyframe to another, the browser interpolates the styles, creating a
smooth transition between the defined keyframe states.

Syntax:
As following is the syntax to keyframe in CSS:

@keyframes

Approach
To create a glowing cube loader using this approach, the key focus lies on two main
properties: rotate and glowing. The rotate keyframe property controls the rotation of the
cube, giving it a loading effect as it spins. By defining different degrees of rotation at
different keyframes, we can achieve a seamless animation. On the other hand, the
glowing property enhances the visual appeal of the cube loader. By utilizing pseudo-
elements and animating their opacity, we can create a pulsating glow effect, adding an
extra touch of sophistication to the loader.

The implementation of the glowing cube loader is a prime example of how CSS
animations can enhance the visual appeal of web pages. This animation creates a
stunning effect by combining the power of keyframes and other CSS properties. The
rotating and glowing cube is an impressive visual effect that captures the user's
attention and adds interactivity to the web page. In this detailed discussion, we will
examine how keyframes and other CSS properties are utilized to create this stunning
animation.
The animation is achieved by defining a sequence of keyframes that specify the
intermediate states of the cube's rotation and glow. The @keyframes rule defines these
keyframes using percentage values ranging from 0% to 100%. For example, the
keyframe selector 0% specifies the initial state of the cube, and the keyframe selector
100% defines the final state of the animation.

To create the rotating effect, the transform property is used in conjunction with the
rotateY() function. The rotateY() function allows for the rotation of an element about its Y-
axis. By specifying different rotation values at various keyframe percentages, we can
create a smooth and continuous animation of the cube's rotation.

In addition to these properties, other CSS properties such as width, height, and margin
are also utilized to position and resize the cube. The animation property is used to
control the overall animation, specifying the duration, iteration count, and other key
animation parameters.

Program 1:
The following program is working example of the glowing cube loader using the
Advanced keyframe property of CSS, here we have using keyframe for rotating and
glowing the integrated with other CSS properties with it and implement the glowing cube
loader as follows in the HTML and CSS programming language.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<style>

.cube-loader {

width: 50px;

height: 50px;

position: relative;
