Creating animations with the GSAP library

The GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) is a powerful and relatively easy to use suite of animation libraries for HTML5. As of April 2018, it includes:

• TweenLite -handles animating just about any property of any object.
• TweenMax - adds some extras.
• TimelineLite a container for tweens to control them as a whole and precisely manage their timing in relation to each other
• TimelineMax - adds some extras.

In this class, we will work with TweenMax.

• Either download it from here or
• include the library as CDN, like this:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.20.3/TweenMax.min.js"></script>
