If you want you can add external dependencies as long as they are only included from cdns. ================================================================================ RESPONSE: ================================================================================ We are going to create a single HTML file that includes CSS and JavaScript to display a 3D rotating cube. We'll use CSS 3D transforms and JavaScript to rotate the cube. Since we are allowed to use external dependencies from CDNs, we can use a library like Three.js, but note that the problem says "html + js + css only" and we are to store on a single html file. However, the problem also says "if you want you can add external dependencies as long as they are only included from cdns". But note: the requirement says "stored on a single html file". So we cannot have external files, but we can include CDN links in the HTML. However, the problem says "only" meaning we are to write the code in one file. We can include external scripts via CDN. Approach: We'll create a cube using CSS 3D transforms. We'll have a container with perspective, and then a cube with 6 faces. We'll rotate the cube using JavaScript by changing the rotation angles. But note: the problem says "rotating", so we want it to rotate continuously. However, the problem does not specify the direction or speed, so we'll do a simple rotation. Steps: 1. Create a container with `perspective` and `transform-style: preserve-3d`. 2. Create a cube element that has 6 faces (each face is a div with different background colors). 3. Style each face to be positioned appropriately in 3D space. 4. Use JavaScript to rotate the cube on the x and y axes continuously. Alternatively, we can use CSS animations to rotate the cube without JavaScript? But the problem says "rotating", and we can do it with CSS animations too. However, the problem says "html + js + css", so we can use either. But note: if we use CSS animation, we don't need JS for the rotation, but we might need JS for the infinite loop? Actually, CSS animations can be set to run infinitely. Let's do it with CSS animation for simplicity and to avoid JavaScript for the rotation (though we'll have to set the animation). But note: the problem says "rotating", so we can do: Option 1: CSS keyframes for rotation. However, the problem says "3d cube", so we have to set up the 3D perspective and the cube. Let's design: HTML structure:
CSS: .container { perspective: 600px; margin: 0 auto; height: 100vh; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } .cube { width: 200px; height: 200px; position: relative; transform-style: preserve-3d; animation: rotate 5s infinite linear; } .face { position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 200px; border: 1px solid black; box-sizing: border-box; background: #fff; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; font-size: 20px; color: black; } .front { transform: translateZ(100px); } .back { transform: rotateY(180deg) translateZ(100px); } .right { transform: rotateY(90deg) translateZ(100px); } .left { transform: rotateY(-90deg) translateZ(100px); } .top { transform: rotateX(90deg) translateZ(100px); } .bottom { transform: rotateX(-90deg) translateZ(100px); } @keyframes rotate { from { transform: rotateX(0deg) rotateY(0deg); } to { transform: rotateX(360deg) rotateY(360deg); } } However, note: the above CSS might not work exactly as expected because the rotation of the cube as a whole is applied to the cube container, and then the faces are positioned relative to the cube. But the above keyframes are rotating the entire cube (by rotating the container) and the cube container is rotating. However, the problem: the keyframes are rotating the container, but the container is the cube. So we are rotating the cube. But note: the animation is applied to the cube, so the cube will rotate. However, the above keyframes are rotating the cube by 360 degrees in both x and y? Actually, it's rotating by 360 degrees in x and then 360 in y? But the animation is linear, so it will rotate continuously. But note: the animation is set to rotate the cube (the .cube element) from 0 to 360 in both x and y? Actually, the keyframes are rotating the entire cube by 360 in x and 360 in y? Actually, the keyframes are rotating the cube by 360 degrees in the x-axis and then 360 in the y-axis? But the way we wrote it: from { transform: rotateX(0deg) rotateY(0deg); } to { transform: rotateX(360deg) rotateY(360deg); } However, the animation will interpolate both. But note: the rotation in 3D is additive? Actually, it's a combination. But the problem: the cube will rotate in a way that it's spinning in 3D, but the rotation might look like it's rotating around an axis that is not aligned. Alternatively, we can rotate only on one axis? But the problem says "3d cube", so we want to see all faces. However, the above CSS might not be the standard way. The standard way is to have the cube as a container and then rotate the container. But note: the above CSS for the faces is set to have a fixed position (using translateZ) and then we rotate the container. Let me adjust: the cube container is rotated, and the faces are positioned relative to the container. But the above keyframes are rotating the container, so the entire cube will rotate. However, the animation is set to rotate the container by 360 in x and 360 in y? Actually, the animation is rotating the container by 360 degrees in the x-axis and 360 in the y-axis? But note: the animation is defined as a single rotation (the transform property) and we are changing the transform. But the problem: the animation might not look like a cube spinning because the rotation is applied to the container and the container is rotating, so the cube will spin. However, the standard way to rotate a 3D cube is to rotate the container (the cube element) in 3D space. But note: the animation we are using (rotateX and rotateY) are applied to the container. So the container will be rotated. However, the above keyframes are rotating the container by 360 degrees in x and 360 in y? Actually, the animation is from 0 to 360 in both. But note: the animation is linear, so it will rotate 360 degrees in x and 360 in y at the same time? Actually, the animation is changing the transform property from (rotateX(0) rotateY(0)) to (rotateX(360) rotateY(360)). This will cause the cube to rotate in a diagonal? Instead, we can rotate only on one axis? But the problem doesn't specify. Alternatively, we can rotate only on the y-axis for a simple spin? But that would be 2D rotation? Actually, if we rotate only on the y-axis, it's a 2D rotation (like a wheel) but we want 3D. To see the 3D effect, we need to rotate on multiple axes. However, the problem doesn't specify the rotation axis. Let's do a rotation that shows all faces. But note: the above CSS might not be the most efficient. Let's try to make a cube that spins in 3D. Another common approach is to have the cube rotate on the y-axis only? But then it would only show the front and back? Actually, if we rotate only on the y-axis, the cube will show the front and back, but the sides would be hidden? But with perspective, we can see the sides? Actually, no: if we rotate only on the y-axis, the cube will turn to show the sides, but the sides are not facing the camera until the rotation is 90 degrees. However, the problem says "3d cube", so we want to see the 3D effect. Let's stick to the standard 3D cube with 6 faces and rotate the entire cube. But note: the above CSS for the faces might not be correct. The standard way to position the faces is: .front { transform: translateZ(100px); } .back { transform: rotateY(180deg) translateZ(100px); } .right { transform: rotateY(90deg) translateZ(100px); } .left { transform: rotateY(-90deg) translateZ(100px); } .top { transform: rotateX(90deg) translateZ(100px); } .bottom { transform: rotateX(-90deg) translateZ(100px); } However, note: the cube is 200x200, so the distance from center to face is 100px (half the side). So we use 100px. But the problem: the cube is 200px, so half is 100px. Now, the animation: we want to rotate the cube continuously. We can do: @keyframes rotate { 0% { transform: rotateX(0deg) rotateY(0deg); } 100% { transform: rotateX(360deg) rotateY(360deg); } } However, this will rotate the cube by 360 degrees in both x and y, which is a full rotation in both axes. But note: the rotation is applied to the container, so the entire cube will rotate. However, the above keyframes might cause the cube to rotate in a way that it appears to be spinning in a diagonal. We can also do a rotation only on the y-axis for a simple spin? But that would be 2D. To get 3D, we need to rotate on multiple axes. Alternatively, we can rotate only on the y-axis and then the cube will look like it's turning? But the problem says "3d cube", so we want to see the 3D effect. However, the problem doesn't specify the rotation, so we can do a simple rotation on the y-axis? But if we rotate only on the y-axis, the cube will look like it's turning in a circle (like a wheel) but it's actually a 2D rotation? Actually, in 3D, rotating around the y-axis (vertical) will make the cube turn to show the sides. But note: the standard 3D cube rotation for a spinning cube is often done by rotating around the y-axis and x-axis? Or sometimes just the y-axis for a simple spin. However, the problem says "3d cube", so we'll do a rotation that shows the 3D effect. Let's do a rotation that is a combination of x and y? But to keep it simple, we can rotate only on the y-axis? But then the cube will look like it's spinning in a circle (like a top) but without the 3D depth? Actually, with perspective, rotating on the y-axis will show the sides of the cube. Example: If we rotate the cube 90 degrees on the y-axis, then the right face becomes the front, and the front becomes the left? But we want a continuous rotation. So we can do: @keyframes rotate { 0% { transform: rotateY(0deg); } 100% { transform: rotateY(360deg); } } But then the cube will rotate 360 degrees on the y-axis, which is a full turn. And because of the perspective, we will see the cube spinning in 3D (with the sides visible as it turns). However, the problem says "3d cube", and rotating on the y-axis is a 3D rotation (because it's in 3D space). So it's acceptable. But note: the problem says "rotating", so we can do a continuous rotation on the y-axis. However, the problem does not specify the axis, so we can choose. Let's choose to rotate on the y-axis only, so the cube spins around the vertical axis. Steps for CSS-only animation: .cube { animation: spin 5s linear infinite; } @keyframes spin { from { transform: rotateY(0deg); } to { transform: rotateY(360deg); } } But note: the cube container must have the perspective and the faces must be positioned correctly. However, the above keyframes are applied to the cube container, so the cube will rotate. But wait: the cube container is the one that has the perspective, and the cube is the one that is rotated? Actually, the cube container is the one that we are rotating, and the faces are positioned relative to the cube container. So the animation will rotate the cube container, and the faces will be rotated accordingly. However, the above CSS for the faces is set with transforms that position them. But note: the animation is applied to the cube container, so the entire cube (including the faces) will be rotated. But the problem: the animation we are applying to the cube container is a rotation on the y-axis? Actually, the keyframes are setting the transform of the cube container to rotateY(360deg) at 100%. So the cube container will rotate 360 degrees on the y-axis. However, the cube container is the one that is being rotated, so the cube will spin. But note: the cube container is the element that has the perspective, and the faces are children of it. So we can do: .cube { animation: spin 5s linear infinite; } @keyframes spin { from { transform: rotateY(0deg); } to { transform: rotateY(360deg); } } However, the problem: the cube container is the one that is being rotated, so the entire cube (including the faces) will be rotated. But note: the faces are positioned with their own transforms, so when the container rotates, the faces move in 3D. This should work. But let's test with a simple example. However, we are writing a single HTML file, so we'll write the CSS and JS in the same file. We'll also add some text on the faces to see the rotation. Let's code: We'll have a container with perspective. The cube is a div with class "cube", and inside it 6 divs for the faces. We'll set the cube to have a width and height, and then position each face. We'll set the perspective to 600px so that the 3D effect is visible. We'll set the cube to have a size (e.g., 200px) and then position the faces at 100px (half the side) in the respective directions. We'll use the transforms for each face as described. Then we'll add an animation to the cube container to rotate on the y-axis. However, note: the animation we are applying is to the cube container, so we don't need to change the faces' transforms in the animation? The faces are fixed in their positions relative to the cube container, and the cube container is rotated. So the animation is on the cube container. But note: the animation keyframes are defined on the cube container, so we can do: .cube { animation: spin 5s linear infinite; } @keyframes spin { from { transform: rotateY(0deg); } to { transform: rotateY(360deg); } } However, the problem: the cube container is the one that is being rotated, so the rotation is applied to the container. But note: the container (cube) is the one that has the perspective, so the rotation will be in 3D. Let's write the code. We'll also add some text to each face so we can see which face is which. But note: the problem doesn't require text, but it's helpful for debugging. We'll set the text on each face to show the direction. However, the problem doesn't require text, but it's good for clarity. Let's write the HTML structure:
Front
Back
Right

Top
Bottom
Now, the CSS: .container { perspective: 600px; width: 100%; height: 100vh; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } .cube { width: 200px; height: 200px; position: relative; transform-style: preserve-3d; animation: spin 5s linear infinite; } .face { position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 200px; border: 1px solid #000; box-sizing: border-box; background: #fff; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; font-size: 14px; color: #000; } .front { transform: translateZ(100px); } .back { transform: rotateY(180deg) translateZ(100px); } .right { transform: rotateY(90deg) translateZ(100px); } .left { transform: rotateY(-90deg) translateZ(100px); } .top { transform: rotateX(90deg) translateZ(100px); } .bottom { transform: rotateX(-90deg) translateZ(100px); } @keyframes spin { from { transform: rotateY(0deg); } to { transform: rotateY(360deg); } } However, note: the animation is applied to the cube, so the cube container is rotating. But wait: the animation is defined on the cube container, so the transform of the cube container is being animated. But the cube container's transform is being set by the keyframes? Actually, the keyframes are defining the transform for the cube container at different points. However, the above keyframes are only setting the rotation on the y-axis? But note: the cube container's transform is being set to rotateY(0) at the start and rotateY(360) at the end. But the cube container's transform is also affected by the perspective? Actually, the perspective is on the container, so the rotation of the container will be in 3D. This should work. However, there's a common mistake: the animation is applied to the cube container, but the cube container's transform is being set by the keyframes. But the cube container also has a transform from the positioning of the faces? Actually, no: the faces are positioned relative to the cube container, so the cube container's transform is independent. But note: the cube container is the one that is being rotated, so the entire cube (including the faces) will be rotated. However, the faces are positioned with transforms that are relative to the cube container. When the cube container is rotated, the faces will be rotated as well? Actually, the faces are positioned with absolute positioning and transforms that are relative to the cube container. So when the cube container is rotated, the faces are still positioned in the same relative way, but the entire cube is rotated. So it should work. But note: the animation is applied to the cube container, so the cube container's transform is changing. However, the initial position of the cube container is at the center, and we are rotating it. Let's write the full HTML. But note: the problem says "only" the single HTML file, so we'll write everything in one file. We'll use a CDN for nothing? Actually, we don't need any external CSS or JS, so we can write it all in the HTML. However, the problem says "external dependencies as long as they are only included from cdns", but we don't need any, so we can skip. But to be safe, we'll write the CSS and JS in the same file. However, the animation is CSS, so we don't need JS for the rotation? But the problem says "html + js + css", so we can have JavaScript? But we don't need it for the rotation if we use CSS animation. But the problem says "rotating", and we are using CSS animation, so we don't need JS. However, the problem says "implement a 3d cube rotating", and we are doing it with CSS animation. But note: the problem does not require JavaScript, so we can do without. However, the problem says "js + css", so we can have JS, but we don't have to. But to be safe, we'll do it with CSS animation and no JavaScript. However, the problem says "html + js + css", meaning we can use all three, but we don't have to use JS. We'll do it without JS. But note: the problem says "stored on a single html file", so we'll write the entire code in one HTML file. Let's write the HTML. Important: We must set the body to have height 100% to make the container take the full viewport. Alternatively, we can set the body to have 100vh. We'll set the body to have margin 0 and height 100vh. Code: ... HTML ... Let's write the CSS as above. But note: the face positioning might not be perfect. We are using 100px for the translateZ, but the cube is 200px, so half is 100px, so that's correct. However, let's adjust the container to be larger? Actually, the container is set to 100vh, and the cube is 200px, so it's fine. But note: the perspective is set to 600px, which is the distance from the camera to the cube. If the perspective is too small, the 3D effect might be too strong (like a fish-eye), and if too large, it might look flat. 600px is a common value. Let's write the code. However, note: the problem says "3d cube", so we are using 3D transforms. But there's a catch: the animation keyframes are set to rotateY(360deg) at 100%, but note that the rotation is in degrees, and 360 degrees is a full circle. This will cause the cube to rotate 360 degrees in the y-axis, which is a full rotation. Now, let's write the code. But note: the problem says "rotating", so we want it to rotate continuously. We'll set the animation to infinite. However, the problem doesn't specify the speed, so 5s is a reasonable speed. Let's code accordingly. One more thing: the cube might not be centered if we don't set the container properly. We are using flexbox to center the cube. Now, let's write the full code. But note: the faces might not be exactly aligned? We are using the same width and height for all faces, and the transforms are set to position them. However, the back face is rotated 180 degrees and then translated, so it should be behind the front? Actually, in 3D, the back face is behind the front, so when we rotate the cube, the back face will come to the front. But the animation is rotating the entire cube, so the back face will eventually become the front. So the animation should work. Let's write the code. However, note: the problem says "3d cube", and we are using CSS 3D transforms, so it should work in modern browsers. But note: the problem doesn't specify browser support, so we assume modern browsers. Now, the code: # 3D Rotating Cube in a Single HTML File I'll create a beautiful 3D rotating cube using pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (with CDN dependencies only for optional enhancements). The cube will rotate continuously with smooth 3D perspective. ```html 3D Rotating Cube
