Day 1 - Game Plan and Basic Engine

I decided to make a game where you manage traffic in a city by switching Traffic lights on and off. The challenge is that you have to get a certain amount of cars to their destination before the time runs out. There will also be obstacles such as construction work and accidents that appear when you start the level.

Today I got a basic engine done for paving the roads. I also got an engine for creating cars that can move, crash with another car, or stop in traffic. I wasn't able to get the cars to start back up when traffic cleared, but I'll figure that out later (Or, I could make it a "feature" of the game where you have to click the cars to get them to start again, but that's stupid so no.). Tomorrow I hope to get a system in for Traffic Lights, toggling them, and cars stopping when the light is red.
