Straight Road – in the middle of the office day, we went to the sea, a virtual one!
Road and sun. What could be better? Probably only the road to the sea. At the end of the workweek. Early on Friday. But already in the afternoon. So there are other cars on the road. But not many yet. And the road to the sea is not wide. Just two lanes. Summer. Sun. And you have a great car. With a convertible. And you're driving to the sea. That was the idea when developing the game.
An office worker's dream, so to speak. In the middle of the workweek. To dream about Friday. And also about summer. And the sea. And how cool it is to have such a cool car. For the summer. With a convertible. A good model. And you're driving to the sea. Happy. And unhurried. You perceive every second of life with a special feeling. You seize every moment of summer. And the breeze from driving.
These were the themes at the start of development. And at the finish, too. I just made it in a minimal form. This idea. So, the road. It's straight. On the sides, there's sand or dirt. And some palm trees or bushes. Most often. You can't leave the road. But you have two lanes to maneuver. To avoid different cars. You're kind of catching up with them. And then you drive forward. Left and right arrow keys. That's all.
The game is leisurely. For relaxation. And a good mood. And again, it's a leisurely game. You drive extremely calmly. And everything on the road is so calm. And measured. Unhurried. This is an important feature of the gameplay. Cheerful and sunny graphics. Just like from the early days of multimedia. 256-color palette. It's either MS DOS for 486Dx2. Or Windows 95, or Windows 3.11. In theory, it's like a retro memory.
The game is programmed in the Free Basic programming language, in the GVim editor. There are sprites, and even a lot of them. And music. Two musical themes in wav format. 8 game levels. With different backgrounds. And a different set of cars that you see along the way.
A total of 33 car sprites. Divided into 8 levels. The first set - 12 cars. You'll see it more often. It's the game's calling card. It will be repeated on some levels. And the background of the first level will be the game's calling card. So there will be similar backgrounds here too. 9 types of objects along the side of the road. Like palm trees, bushes, road signs.
At the top is the game menu. It has beautiful pictures. Made entirely of sprites. It contains all sorts of digital data. Travel time. Percentage of road. Game score. You get a point for each car you pass that goes offscreen. Basically, the theme of cars going offscreen gives you plus one point. Pass a hundred cars - you get a hundred points. There are three more lives. Don't crash into cars. Level number. It's the road symbol. It's the menu at the top during gameplay.
The game has a bunch of these arcade menus. Like the game start menu. With two pictures. A beautiful red sports car. Or for driving around the city in a good mood. Everything sunny. Bright. A game about a good mood. And some sprite-like things. Like a scoreboard. And a menu like "get ready for the next level." There are only 8 levels in the game.
The game
has a simple goal: a good mood. A sunny mood. And drive slowly. By avoiding
other cars, you get points for that. 8 roads. With different designs. But
they're all pretty similar. A short game for relaxation. And a good mood. To
keep you from getting bored in the office. While no one's looking! Or maybe
everyone's sitting and playing!
There are also two musical themes. They are randomly generated for each level. Cool melodies. Well, since it's multimedia, we need to add music. I thought! And I added it! Bright Eyes Blues, Beach Walk Audio by Youth Channel - Audio Library - No Copyright Music. Thanks for the music! It's great, just the right sunny tune. It has such pictures. I trimmed it down to fit the length. Each track is literally about a minute long. What's more appropriate? A little guitar and more rhythm.
Such a summer toy! About summer and a road to the sea. Or anywhere! Driving at low speed. View from above. In the middle of the office day, we went to the sea, a virtual one!
