i now remember something about a feature
that would allow continuous evaluation of css variables in transitions & animations.
however, i had completely forgotten about it;
seeing `@property` was odd and seemed similar /familiar, but didn't ring any bells.
i did recognize "Houdini", but wasn't impressed with it.
and i thought; "well, i guess i should update my paintbook page to use that"
...
i had literally done that, *correctly*..
it's working now, unmodified, haha..
so this is just a refinement of that, attempting to demostrate that:
both the better animation & the ease of the better method.
...
also, counters
using css counters
counter-reset
