This project demonstrates how cloud variables work. Clicking a button will increase the variable by 1. Unlike regular variables, the numbers in cloud variables are shared in everyone's program, not just yours. If you close your browser and come back to this project, the same numbers will be saved. The waiting animation is just there to keep people from voting too frequently and slowing down Scratch's servers.
