   For this challenge, we need to create a button. The button is squirrel shaped. The background of the button appears to be a mosiac of small blue squares of various colors with a small gap between each square. The unhovered state the button appears to not be flat but to have a slightly beveled appearance. There also appears to be a radial gradient overlay with the center of the riadial being the top center of the button. The mosiac squares appear to be in a 13x40 grid. The text of the button says 'Get started' in a what sans fontwith a slight shadow as I'm seeing a dark border around the text, but not a border. Then, when hovering, the cursor acts like a diffuse spotlight with each tile shimmering in the light. The spotlight appears to be about 1/3 the width of the button. As the most moves over the button, there is also an effect of tilt and yaw as if the button is raised slightly and the cursor causes the button to tilt/yaw about the center. When the mouse is clicked, there is a shockwave type of effect the radiates out from the point where the mouse was clicked. The shockwave seems to be about 4 squares wide initially and gets more diffuse as it eminates from the point of the click. I want to create this effect in a window that can hot reload in my local chrome browser. Take advantage of any CSS features you can.

   let's put more radius on the button shape

3. 1:14:04 PM

   Also, make the text a bit larger

4. 1:15:49 PM

   ok, one change, the spot light effect that moves over the squares does not need to cause a shimmering effect. It should just appear as though the spotlight is making each square reflect, but does not need to shimmer

5. 1:16:46 PM

   And lets increase the radius on the button just a little more

6. 1:17:25 PM

   and increase the text size by about 25%

7. 1:18:19 PM

   lets slow the shockwave down just a little

8. 1:18:53 PM

   let's make the shockwave a little less pronounced

9. 1:19:50 PM

   make the spotlight a little larger

10. 1:20:17 PM

    make the spotlight a little less intense

11. 1:21:15 PM

    when the mouse unhovers, lets slow down the animation going back to the unhovered state just a bit
