Straight Road – a sunny ride

 

Road. Asphalt. It's summer here. And everything is so bright. Like a palette of 256 colors. From the era of multimedia and Windows 95. A simple game. About the road and you. You're driving a cool summer car. Somewhere. Palm trees and bushes all around. Maybe you're going on vacation. To the sea. Or just driving with the breeze. Along a straight road. It could be a long road.

 Summer theme. Relaxation. And driving a cool car. With an open top. Just everything for summer and a good mood. And 256 colors. Bright as the sun. And grass. The sea. And sand. You come across different cars on the road. You just have to drive around them. The idea is simple – just drive forward. And drive around other cars.

 Summer graphics. Summer game. About relaxation. A day off. A vacation. Just driving for no reason – for a good mood. That's the theme of the game. You drive with the arrow keys. Right now, it's not all ready. Now I'll show you the interface. And the cars are generated on the screen. And you're supposed to avoid them.

The interface is quite large here. And it's arcade-style. These are percentages of the road. What percentage have you already driven? I saw something like this in some racing game. So I decided to do the same. Then, there's the level time. In seconds and minutes. How long have you been on the road? And the number of lives. A miniature car is here. And the Road, which shows the current level. And of course, it's an arcade game. That's why there's also a scoreboard.

The menu is colorful and bright. It's like a strip. At the top. I thought it would be more interesting that way. In the frog game, the menu was at the bottom, but here I made it at the top. And it's also colorful and summery in its concept. With miniature palm trees, roads, and bushes.

And the elements on the road themselves are the cars. Which you'll need to avoid. The generation is such that there's a gap between two cars. And there's time to go around. For example, one and a half times the length of your car.

 The cars are bright and colorful. Ordinary cars, like from the city. Going about their business. And you're driving past them in your sunny summer car. In a hurry! To the sea. The road to the sea is straight. And two lanes. Sunny asphalt. And solid sunshine all around. Off to vacation!

With this in mind, I'm making a game. The only things missing are a summer shirt and shorts. But that's up to the player's imagination. The idea of ​​the game. First multimedia projects. For Windows 95. So simple. Two balls are tossing a volleyball. There's a beach and sand all around. A summer sky. That kind of thing. Very impressive.

Bushes and palm trees grow along the side of the road. For beauty. And sand. Which already creates such an image of summer. A game for relaxation and a good mood. A summer dream in 256 colors. All that's missing is that signature sky from the Windows 95 bootloader.

I'm in the mood for summer. And a vacation. A relaxed summer breeze blows. And you drive calmly. A white stripe on the road. For fun. Gray asphalt. And everything is so positive. And calm. Off to vacation! Full speed ahead in your super summer car. Red. And the other cars – 12 colors. Some are similar.

Feel the summer breeze. And forward. Towards the sun. Summer. At least in virtual reality. A summer dream come true. All you have to do is just drive forward. I've had the idea for the game for several years, just a line. A sentence in a text file. And now I can program it!

What a joy it is to be able to program! And to realize your dreams! Happiness written in BASIC!
