Pipe Runner

A plumber in a red cap runs a bright side-scrolling world of green pipes, orange brick and floating question blocks, and the whole deck is one continuous scene sliding past rather than a grid of separate pictures. He jumps the gaps in the ground, clears the pipes, heads the blocks so a coin pops out of them, takes coins out of the air at the top of the arc and lands on the walkers. Hills and clouds slide past behind at two different speeds.
None of it is animated by hand. The level is generated, the runner is played through it, and the coins are then placed on the path he actually took — which is why he collects every one of them instead of passing near them. The jumps are worked out from the arc: he leaves the ground exactly early enough that the top of the jump is over whatever he is clearing.
Every other animated Stream Deck screensaver on the market is a video loop: somebody animated it once, exported it, and it plays out identically forever because there was never anything underneath. This one is a simulation that was played through and recorded frame by frame, which is why the good moments happen at different places each time it is built rather than at the same place every loop.
WHAT YOU GET. Three files, one for each deck: the MK.2 and the original 15-key at 480x272, the XL at 1024x600 and the Stream Deck + at 800x480. Use the one that matches your deck. An illustrated HTML guide and a plain README come with them, and the guide calls out the one mistake everybody makes once — the app has a "Set Image" button right next to "Set Animation", and the first one gives you a frozen frame.
HONEST LIMITS. This is an animated GIF, so it needs the Stream Deck app version 6.6 or newer. The Stream Deck MINI cannot display animations at all — that is a limitation of the hardware, not of this file, and it is better said here than discovered afterwards. Nothing here is affiliated with, licensed by or endorsed by Elgato or any game publisher; the artwork is original and drawn in code.
