A coding challenge explores creating dynamic box shadows that respond to a light source as elements scroll. Multiple developers showcase solutions using scroll-driven animations with animation-timeline: view() and scroll(), manipulating shadow properties through CSS custom properties and @property declarations. Solutions range from JavaScript-assisted approaches to pure CSS implementations that interpolate shadow directions based on viewport position.
