3D engine using only HTML and CSS:

Clearly its not programming or any skill involved.
Then let me rephrase, it’s probably not programming for the people asking if their HTML/CSS work counts as programming experience.
If it involves syntax, algorithms to solve problems or anything even remotely math related then why would it not? At the end of the day you are writing syntax, although some employers might not see that it is direct experienced as opposed to say C or even Python; it is however going to make you a better programmer the more you know.

Yes, if you implemented backend on Java!!!
If not - try it!
