+ * ANIMATED LOADING SCREEN COMPONENT

+ * 1. DevDisplay branding with logo and tagline
+ * 2. Multiple animated elements for visual interest
+ * 3. Pulsing dots indicating activity
+ * 4. Animated progress bar
+ * 5. Floating code-themed elements (brackets, keywords)
+ * 6. Spinning ring animations
+ * 7. Subtle background pattern
+ * 8. Responsive design for all screen sizes
+ *
+ * PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS:
+ * - Uses CSS animations instead of JavaScript for better performance
+ * - Optimized for 60fps smooth animations
+ * - Minimal DOM elements to reduce rendering overhead
+ * - GPU-accelerated transforms where possible
