--description--

By manipulating different selectors and properties, you can make interesting shapes. One of the easier ones to try is a crescent moon shape. For this challenge you need to work with the box-shadow property that sets the shadow of an element, along with the border-radius property that controls the roundness of the element's corners.

You will create a round, transparent object with a crisp shadow that is slightly offset to the side - the shadow is actually going to be the moon shape you see.

In order to create a round object, the border-radius property should be set to a value of 50%.

You may recall from an earlier challenge that the box-shadow property takes values for offset-x, offset-y, blur-radius, spread-radius and a color value in that order. The blur-radius and spread-radius values are optional.

--instructions--

Manipulate the square element in the editor to create the moon shape. First, change the background-color to transparent, then set the border-radius property to 50% to make the circular shape. Finally, change the box-shadow property to set the offset-x to 25px, the offset-y to 10px, blur-radius to 0, spread-radius to 0, and color to blue.

--hints--

The value of the background-color property should be set to transparent.

assert(code.match(/background-color:\s*?transparent;/gi));

The value of the border-radius property should be set to 50%.

assert(code.match(/border-radius:\s*?50%;/gi));

The value of the box-shadow property should be set to 25px for offset-x, 10px for offset-y, 0 for blur-radius, 0 for spread-radius, and finally blue for the color.

assert(
  code.match(/box-shadow:\s*?25px\s+?10px\s+?0(px)?\s+?0(px)?\s+?blue\s*?;/gi)
);
