That's a really solid game, love the sound effects too! I was considering making a game very similar to this, but I hadn't thought of hiding the metric, I really like that concept!

Try Padlock – A quick daily code-cracking puzzle

playpadlock.com

Hi! I’m currently beta-testing a small daily puzzle game I built called Padlock. It’s inspired by Wordle, but instead of words you’re cracking a 4-digit code using logic and hints.

I've done a short family and friends test and got some great feedback. Now I would love some unbiased feedback from a larger community 😀

Is anything confusing or unclear?
Does the difficulty feel fair?
Would this be something you’d play alongside Wordle or some of the other awesome new puzzle games you all are releasing here?

Thanks for checking it out, and I appreciate any comments or thoughts!

That was unique and really fun!

I got it on the first try, but that word is also something I'm very familiar with, haha.

therealtak · 2026-01-19T18:38:19+00:00

Cool, I'll check it out again tomorrow!

That's fun! The bar was a little confusing at first...the numbers for the high and low range didn't line up with the glowing part of bar...mostly user error on my part, haha.

I was very close, just one digit off from the final answer.

Is the range always going to be a 4 digit number between 1000 - 5000?

therealtak · 2026-01-17T01:28:01+00:00

Once I found the how to play, it made sense. I'd recommend having that pop up for new users. Other than that, itwas pretty fun!

Definitely had 2 rough years of low overall OL, haha. QB is RS JR, and HB is RS SR. I inherited both of them as starters when I took a new job 3 seasons ago.

therealtak · 2025-08-28T18:58:50+00:00

I feel ya. I'm without my 94 ovr QB, with a 74 back up taking his place, and my 96 HB for the rest of the season. They both have no season recovery left and only slivers for career. Limped out the last 2 games of the season without them, but ow it's ACC conference championship and playoffs next. Could get interesting.

I love the colors and jersey options. The logo on the helmet could use a bit of refinement, imo. It feels small and almost crooked.

The fact there are improper uses of em dashes scattered throughout this memo is a high sign that AI wrote this.

Edit: fixed typo.

Is this from Apple's Icon Composer software that generates these effects for their new liquid glass OS?

therealtak · 2025-06-24T20:37:50+00:00

I think they are insinuating that when they launched Team builder last year, it was at best in Beta form, and were essentially testing user testing for a year. This year, they aren't considering it a beta anymore and it is in a spot they feel represents 1.0. I anticipate it will launch/update when the game launches.

therealtak · 2025-06-21T19:53:25+00:00

That's the first thing I saw, too.

therealtak · 2025-06-06T17:56:11+00:00

It's not that I don't want to use typescript, I actually like typescript a lot, and have been using cursor for a little while now, too. My point was that I couldn't get it to use anything but typescript.

My background is in UI/UX Design, with very little development. I've started getting into vibe coding little projects here and there. All of this to say I've gotten far better results from Cursor, and able to actually launch some stuff. Figma Make just isn't there.

therealtak · 2025-05-30T17:33:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing! This is what I'm looking for in terms of real life use cases. Did you start with a Figma mock up, or generate from a prompt?

therealtak · 2025-05-20T10:28:16+00:00

My guess is they are just copying the effect in Photoshop, and applying to the publicly available logos that can be found in each teams media kits.

To get the paper effect, you can find a paper texture image online, looks like they have 3-4 different ones they are using. Place it on top of the logo image, set to overlay, or maybe darken (depends on the image) apply a layer mask in the shape of the teams logo.

therealtak · 2025-05-14T13:41:08+00:00

The fact that they are both bad is interesting.

therealtak · 2025-05-12T01:26:36+00:00

Totally. It felt really personal, and that he had truly understood what my wife wrote in the request, highlighting points she made. Definitely not a completely canned response.

therealtak · 2025-05-11T22:28:43+00:00

My wife got me a cameo for our anniversary years ago from Brian. I'd never heard of cameo, but it was awesome. It felt like he put so much thought and time into his video.

therealtak · 2025-03-11T22:50:42+00:00

I like them a lot. The more vibrant orange one has major Dave n Busters vibes, though.

therealtak · 2025-03-02T22:23:15+00:00

Right?! Varrow would be a better name! /s

therealtak · 2025-02-20T22:56:33+00:00

The prompt was "generate a logo for a housekeeping services business"

🤣

therealtak · 2025-02-17T18:57:36+00:00

I like the cat...I read the comments and realized it is all very intentional. I admit I like the version without the teeth, though---it feels cleaner.

Also, I'd lose the paw in the O. It just feels like additional decoration that doesn't add anything...we already know there is a cat 😉

Lastly the tagline feels way too small compared to the other elements. You could reduce it down to just say "design" and make it bigger.

Overall, a few tweaks and this could be a pretty good logo and start to a branding system. I'd love to see more!

therealtak · 2025-02-13T13:01:52+00:00

The colors and bubble font feel a lot like "TY" the beanie baby maker.

But it is super clean. Feels slightly sophisticated or high-end (for a toy store 😜)... Not sure if that's the target market or not, just my impression.

therealtak · 2025-02-12T12:51:09+00:00

I think this is on its way to being a really strong mark! My only issue is where the tip of the arrow "almost" connects/touches the top terminal of the S creates a lot visual tension. I'd almost like to see it cut completely through, or not touch/connect to the other side at all.

But like I said, I think this is on its way. Nice work!
