Can you drive along these winding roads? Can you deliver all the packages? CAN YOU DO BOTH?????

#### If not, this game might be challenging. When you drift too much a package can fall out so drive carefully.

[Space] to start game

A/D to turn left and right

Q/E to throw next package out the left or right side of the truck

Norton and Windows Defender really hate the build. If you do not feel comfortable bypassing your antivirus software, the source code is on GitHub and if you really feel the need, you can get PyInstaller with pip and use it on the main.spec file.

If you're not using Windows:

PyInstaller compiles to whatever operating system it is run on. I don't have a Linux computer in the house and my sister wouldn't let me use her Mac. You can go to the GitHub repo, download it, extract all, open the folder in whatever command prompt or terminal your OS has and make sure you have Python, run pip install pyinstaller (if you don't already have it), then try pyinstaller main.spec. If this doesn't work, run python -m PyInstaller main.spec (this command is case sensitive). Now you have a single file executable that you can run. Make sure the executable is in the same folder as the assets folder.

I like the game but that was too fast for me :) I couldn't do more than 4 delivery.

Could just be my computer, but ever time I t try to run the game it says "Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software"

I get a error: OpenAL library couldn't be found

Do I have to install something to play it?

I like it. I really like the drifty mechanic. Too bad the antivirus hates it.

@nekowei it shouldn't need openAL but its py-openal so you can use pip to get it if you need

It's there any way to include OpenAL or other prequisition in the game package?😥🤔

It worked nicely for me. I got a first run with an easy track and got 6/16. After I reopened the game for a second try the next track was just a continuous zigzag and I got 0/16. It kind of reminds me of Paperboy from the good old NES.

I get the above error message..
LDJam user 262061author1 May 2023, 15:19
To all who got errors, I double checked for references to OpenAL and removed them and I recompiled and reuploaded. Also I left the GitHub repo on private and I have changed that now. Sorry for the inconvinience
Floke1 May 2023, 22:37
The OpenAL error still appears for me. Are you sure you completely removed it? I would love to try your game, it looks fun.

The exe link gives me a 404 :(

bro got this error.... your game looks promising and cant wait to try it.... i use arch linux btw
LDJam user 262061author2 May 2023, 20:52
@dummy432 this error appears to be with importing a specific thing in from pyglet.media I'll narrow down the imports so it doesn't try to import the error
LDJam user 262061author2 May 2023, 20:57
I believe I have fixed all the errors, however I will test that shortly. Thank you all for being patient with me, this is only my second Ludum Dare!
LDJam user 262061author2 May 2023, 21:10
With the updates, it still seems you can't download the build on the Ludum Dare website however you can download it from the GitHub repo and it runs without errors. I tested it on a different computer and it worked. Sorry for the inconvenience!

First off, gotta say I hardcore sympathize with the build struggles. I respect you being out here in the trenches trying to make it happen for you! Having to bounce between steering and throwing packages was a neat little challenge given how the controls were laid out. I actually think the control layout was my favorite part cuz it really lent it self to the challenge of balancing two things without getting my fingers all tied up.

Would have loved to hear some music here, even something generic could have added a TON to the frantic vibe I got from the game.

Grats on the second jam :)

I'm happy to finally being able to play your game! :D

It is quite challenging to deliver the packages. The controls are exactly what the name implies... drifty. I like it! It goes by way too fast though.
LDJam user 262061author4 May 2023, 22:51
@cheesepencil pyglet doesn’t natively compile to web in any way. It doesn’t get run with pyscript and I’m not gonna write an OpenGL web port. Sorry 😞

This was pretty hard to get running. Agree that music would be dope. Nice job!

The exebuild download link doesn't seem to work. It just takes me to a blank page that says "Not found"

sorry man i cant open the game.

Oh wow this was super difficult! I managed to deliver two packages which is probably as good as I'm going to get. Perhaps colliding with a wall could give us some damage rather than game-over?

I felt the controls had some promise, pretty interesting to play around with. I didn't know what I was doing the first time, and it took me a bit to realise hitting the darker green was what was bad. Cool concept!
