Stopping and starting an animation: animation-play-state

Yet another important property of CSS animations is called animation-play-state. It allows you to pause an animation and then resume playback from the same position.

The property can have two values: running and paused. As you can tell from the names, paused pauses an animation and running starts or resumes a previously paused animation. By default, the property’s value is running.

Let’s try creating an animation and controlling its playback.

    2. then assign this animation to the robots .robot.
    3. Create a .robot-paused rule that will pause the animation.

    The robot-paused class is activated when the robots are clicked on. Try clicking on them while they are moving!
