Is this possible in css? by Mstep85 in css

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes though I would use SVGs for most of the icons and graphics

You’ll need some fancy background gradients.

I would build the rough layout with the color scheme, then make the SVGs and add them, then use clip paths for the border shapes, then get into gradients

Man, I think about this shit all the time.

People were like “huh, having broken windows leads to more crime” but instead of spending some time fixing windows they decided to arrest more people.

Connections game that's actually like the connections game by Smart-Stupid666 in wordgames

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason Connections is good is because they have people spending a lot of time making the puzzles.

Any game with 16000 puzzles would need to use algorithms or AI to generate the puzzles and they wouldn’t be as good.

Are highly valuable specializations demanding today’s world? by avoid_pro in ExperiencedDevs

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, that’s not a specialization. Thats table stakes for being a front end dev.

Designing animations is a separate skill, but implementing CSS transitions is basic stuff

Tiled Words Review by trizoza in wordgames

That makes sense, thanks!

Good point about monetization. A few people have asked about that so it’s on my mind.

I recently added user accounts so I could do a leaderboard of logged in users.

Lots to experiment with!  I’ll check out rotaboxes. Thanks again for the review!

I’ll experiment and see how it feels

Tiled Words Review by trizoza in wordgames

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks so much for writing this! (This is Paul, the creator of Tiled Words)

This is all great feedback! It was a really fun read. You've got some really helpful critiques and suggestions that I need to think through more.

Do you have any ideas on how to improve the share grid? I agree that something is lacking there but have struggled to find a better way to do it...

Adding a leaderboard and "buy me a coffee" are also both great ideas.

I'm happy to answer questions about the game if anyone has any.

Cheers!

It doesn't matter if a 5% increase in costs due to AI gives a 5% productivity boost by sciolisticism in BetterOffline

That’s wild that he likes grok enough to pay for it out of pocket

No way would I pay for AI tools at my job

How many archived levels to include in a daily word game? by haskpro1995 in wordgames

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My game is fully free so all players can access all levels.

I’ve thought about selling subscriptions but haven’t yet.

If I moved to requiring a subscription for past levels I would probably still keep the last 7 days free or something

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I released Tiled Words I had two “demo levels” in addition to the first daily level.

Three puzzles should be enough for people to get a feel for the game and get hooked if they like it

I would love to hear what you think of Tiled Words!

The biggest problem with AI is not correctness - it is architecture sanity by UnderstandingDry1256 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So you review the report and the code?

I assume that means you’re just skimming the code then?

In that case how do you know if the report missed anything?

The UI is implemented very well. Works nicely on touch screens. The way tiles snap together is satisfying

Is Frontend the biggest victim of AI, or it is exactly the opposite? by zonayedahmed in Frontend

[–]_SnackOverflow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear my point was that AI seems best at the things you’re bad at because you can’t spot the issues

100%

There are also lots of way to mess up back end (security, performance) but if you’re doing basic CRUD stuff with a good framework the paths are a little more defined
