"One Mechanism. Eight Steps. Total Mastery." Puzzl3d is your daily dose of mechanical genius. Every 24 hours, a new 3D architecture resets for the world to solve. Navigate deep-set sliders, rotating gears, and physical deadbolts to extract the Core. It’s not just a game; it’s your morning coffee for the brain. Can you crack today’s sequence?"

[work in progress]

I'm still working on the puzzles and the UI because I want puzzl3d to be completely random everyday and also change the aestethic of the whole page acordingly to the puzzle of the day.

You can try it here: https://omma.build/p/sophisticated-3d-puzzle-box-kao1t2

You can see the solution in the steps button, but I realized the steps also appear on the bottom and I'm almost out of credits lol.

I'm listening to your ideas and feedback.

Suggestions on how to generate different puzzles each day are more than welcome.

Cool concept, generating a different puzzle may be a bit difficult to do with code only. Varying a puzzle so it is different every time is doable though.

The closest that you can get with code is to have a set of large set tasks for a puzzle, and have a number of them get picked at random.
