Welcome new hires to We Haul!


As I'm sure you know we have one of the best ratings among our competitors in customer satisfaction. And really that all comes down to speed, the faster they get moved the happier they are, right?

That's why the one rule here at We Haul is that you must be off the job site within two minutes, strictly. Cram as much as you can into the truck and get going!

-----

We Haul is a truck packing simulator; cram as many oddly shaped packages into the truck as possible within two minutes. At the end your score is calculated by adding up the points awarded by each package and then graded based on how efficiently you packed the truck. Any transparent pixels left in the truck at the end will go against your score. As a general rule the stranger the package's shape the more points it's worth.

To move packages simply click on them with your mouse and use the scrollwheel to rotate them (alternatively "[" and "]" rotate by 5 degrees per press) then click again to drop the package.

I used python with pygame as the basic engine, along with some base code I have for simplifying pygame development (https://github.com/FRadford/pygame-systems). I created the sprites with aesprite, sound effects with bfxr and background "music" with bosca ceoil.

Note: The score shown at the top of the screen is before applying the final grade, it tends to be a lot lower than the final score.

Download Note

I can only build a binary for windows right now, but if you have python, pygame and cx_Freeze installed you should be able to download the source and run:
```
python setup.py build
```
From the root folder of the project, and it should build some kind of executable for you if all goes according to plan.
