Inspired by AfterDark screensavers and Solitare "Vegas" style

The screensaver is about a hot-tempered and frustrated truck driver trying to make a living. He has 30 days to earn -- or lose -- money. Every time the screensaver runs, random events happen which cause you to get or lose money. After 30 days, one of four "game over / you win" screens shows. Then the screensaver hits the "reset button" and you get a new 30-day story

Additional features that will definitely be included (since I've got all the tools I need)
----------------------------------------------
* More background scenery (Bridges, walls, colorful houses, etc.)
* Four types of deliveries -- Fast food, technology, gems and toys
* Factories will have different colors
* Actual acceleration and deceleration of the truck
* Truck will stop at paint shops for new colors
* Animals -- and the driver gets angry
* Car-crashes -- and the driver gets angry
* Traffic lights and intersections
* Speeding tickets and litter fines -- and the driver gets angry when caught by the police
* Day and night cycles
* Crime of stashing goods, with either good or bad results

Features that will be included if time permits:
-----------------------------------------------
* Rain and snow
* Running out of gas
* Freeways
* Flat tires

That looks very cool and fun!
I look forward to the excitement and variety of rain and snow if you're able to add those in time.

This is so absurd in the best of ways. I cannot wait to see how some of those features come into play!

I love how the art style follows your elimination graphics style.

This is awesome. Although this is for the contest I could easily see something similar get added to a game like Elimination as extra cutscenes or even optional cutscenes like in some newer RPGs. I can't wait to see what you have in store next for the contest.

Agree, this is a concept that could be expanded to a full game afterward.
Looks nice.

This will be a tough truck competition with TIny_Hacker

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! @slyVTT Yes indeed!

Very neat! I like the overall look of the program!

Neat! Looks retro, and the artwork is nice and simple.

Obvious bugs with the timing of the rain and the "caught littering" message, but those are easy fixes

Nice job, lookin good! I hope you're able to implement all you want in time

This is what I call "Heavy rain"

Changed from 30 days to 90 days (while cutting the length of a day by 1/3) so that the player can see "night time" more often

The gibberish at the top is debug information; it will be removed by Saturday

The screen saver will rarely give you an instant "game over" when a crash happens...but...it can happen!

The amount of detail you've managed to pack into this in so little time is very impressive! I love the screen shake and accelerate / slow down effect, and the rain looks really good! The brightening and darkening / fading of the screen is really neat, how did you do that?

Thanks!

The general idea is that I made my own palette below. When I want to fade out, I recalculate the palette to make all colors slightly darker, and when I want to fade in, I make all the colors slightly brighter.

Today is just eye candy (You can ignore the debug numbers at the top of each scene)

I was slightly hoping to add flat tires and running out of gas, but today and Friday is just letting the program run, fixing bugs along the way. And I did encounter so many funny or illogical ones, including:

* Too much greed! The driver was stashing everything instead of making at least some honest deliveries
* Policemen incorrectly stopping the man for littering, or the man littering way too often
* Green trees and green grass (instead of red trees and red grass) in volcano land
* Evergreens magically changing to palm trees on-screen
* Police car and truck on white screen after "game over", as if the truck and police car had moved on to the "great beyond"
* Scene with accidental autumn colors, which looked really cool but in the end was just corrupt data (the truck driver had a mushroom face)

This is really good !!!
I didn't imagine you would add so much content.
This is really great. Nice job !!

This is really good and you should work on it after CC26, this could become a really popular program!
You guys have really good programs, I don't think I can compare but who knows--anyone could win!
