**Planning a single-file app**

I need to create a single-file app called index.html. I see that I should include gsap.min.js, which is in the current directory. It's important to ensure I have all the right files in place before starting. I should carefully inspect the files to confirm everything is set up correctly. I really want to get this right so the app functions smoothly!

**Planning animation setup**

I need to create a simple `index.html` file and include `gsap.min.js` within a `<script>` tag. The goal is to build an animated loading sequence featuring a dark background, morphing shapes, and a staggered row of dots using GSAP. The animation should loop continuously using the timeline function. While GSAP's MorphPlugin isn't available, I can try to animate border-radius or scale instead. I also wonder if GSAP core can manage SVG path `d` attributes smoothly.**Designing morphing shapes**

I’m thinking of creating blob shapes using divs with border-radius and CSS transforms to animate a morphing effect. I can animate the border-radius percentages, like `border-radius: 60% 40%`. GSAP can handle this, but for complex shapes, it might be better to use CSS variables for inline style interpolation. Another option is to use SVG with path shapes and filters. I also want to create seven staggered dots and animate their scale and position on a timeline, ensuring smooth easing and repeating the animation.**Creating morphing blobs**

I want to establish a dark background with the color `#0b0f14` and center a container that has two large overlapping morphing blobs. I’ll create three divs with a class of "blob," position them absolutely, and use GSAP to animate their border-radius. For complex corner percentages, it might be best to use CSS custom properties for more control. I could also consider using SVG with circle elements and animate their `rx` and `ry` attributes as an alternative, but circles are pretty limited!**Exploring SVG morphing**

I’m considering a simpler approach by using three large SVG `<g>` paths with the same number of points to animate the `'d'` attribute, though manually matching point counts is quite tedious. Instead, I could animate CSS `clip-path` polygon points, since GSAP should handle that. However, animating a custom property for `clip-path` might not be supported. Using GSAP's `AttrPlugin` to animate the SVG `<path>` `'d'` attribute seems promising, but I’ll need to ensure the points match for smooth transitions. Otherwise, I can design rounded rectangles with the same number of points.**Implementing animated blobs**

I’ll create one path with eight cubic Bézier points and alternate the `'d'` values for morphing shapes. To simplify, using three SVG blobs could work, but designing matching path strings is prone to errors. Instead, I could use an HTML canvas for animating shapes with JS, utilizing GSAP for timeline orchestration. I plan to animate blob offsets in an array while drawing smooth forms using `quadraticCurveTo`. Additionally, I want to animate small circle divs as dots in a staggered row, ensuring responsiveness and a nice dark background setup. My solution will include accessibility loading text as well.**Drawing and animating blobs**

In the drawing function, I’ll clear the canvas first and calculate the positions of the blobs. For each blob, I’ll compute the angles and then find x, y coordinates based on an updated radius and scaling factors. I'll create a smooth path using a midpoint approach; I have a standard function for that, but I should ensure the path starts correctly from the last point to the first. Additionally, I want to set up glowing overlap effects with a radial gradient and use HTML divs for small circles, adding animation and an accessible loading message. Now, I’ll work on the `index.html` file!

Created index.html with a self-contained GSAP-driven loader: morphing rounded blobs on a dark background plus a staggered row of animated dots. It uses the provided gsap.min.js (loaded locally) and requires no external resources. Open index.html to see the looping animation.

EVALUATION

3/5 working

Two morphing blobs with staggered dot loader animate continuously; no interactivity beyond the passive loop.
