Trash Man

TINS 2007, GPL

[ 3rd Place Overall ] [ 3rd Place Genre ]

Terrorists have planted bombs in trash cans around the town and it's up to you, the local trash man, to collect and diffuse them. It is a race against time, where you buy more time by disposing of garbage. When the timer runs out, all garbage cans turn into bombs. You must not let this happen!

In addition to picking up trash cans and throwing them in your garbage truck, you can also pick up and throw away other objects such as bushes and CDs by RIAA bands. Gotta dispose of all that garbage...

Note that this game was developed for the TINS Is Not Speedhack 2007 competition, and as such was developed in its entirety over the course of 72 hours. Because of these requirements and the fact that I had not designed a game in a while when I made this, it is not a particularly fun game. Now we know why there are no commercial garbage man simulators on the market. It won the 3rd place awards for best overall game and for fulfilling the genre requirement of "garbage".

The source code distribution has been tested and will compile in both Windows and Linux. It may compile with MacOSX, but has not been tested.
