Component - Tween animations

This UI component shows how a Tween animation smoothly changes a widget's property over time, like moving a box from left to right. It uses Flutter's animation system to create smooth transitions.

Widget Tree
Scaffold
├─ AppBar
│  └─ Text
└─ Center
   └─ AnimatedBuilder
      └─ Container
The Scaffold provides the basic page structure with an AppBar at the top showing a title. The body centers an AnimatedBuilder widget, which rebuilds its child Container as the animation value changes, moving the box horizontally.

Key Insight
Tween animations in Flutter let you smoothly change widget properties over time by interpolating between start and end values. Using AnimatedBuilder efficiently rebuilds only the parts of the UI that depend on the animation, keeping the app smooth and responsive.
