## About The Pull Request This PR adds a new PDA program to the supply category, which allows users to redeems coupons for various cargo packs (mostly goodies), like the ones also found at the bottom of cig packs. How it works is fairly simple: - Once installed, the modular computer subsystem will periodically, at a 3-5 minutes interval, generate a coupon code datum associated to a plain text code, which is sent out to everyone with the program installed. - The user can then open the program and insert the text into an input box to redeem the coupon code, which is then associated with their bank account. - He will then have to find a photocopier, and tap it with the PDA to print the coupon. Only one coupon can be printed. Photocopier fees apply, so it'd cost 5 creds to the average assistant to print the coupon. - He can then insert the coupon in a cargo console and order/reuest the associated pack (same deal as cig coupons). - Some coupon codes however, especially those with juicer discounts, will expire after a while if not printed. Albeit mostly innocuous, the program provides negative Detomatix resistance, slowly fills the computer file storage with trash files with each redeemed coupon, and halves the download speed of new apps. Not really the cleanest ware out there. This PR also extends coupons to several non-goody packs, since they have been privately buyable for over the last couple years now. Some packs get discounts less frequently however, with those in the uncommon category being roughly 1 in a 12 chance and the rare being 1 in 50. Here's a screenshot of the UI (outdated, I've reduced the height from 500 to 400 and the notice box tip to specify the right click):  Fun fact: Right now, the odds of a 75% discount coming from the Coupon Master for the 1.000.000 credits bycycle pack are roughly 0.0012%, while that of a 50% for the same pack, from a cig pack coupon are 0.0042%. ## Why It's Good For The Game These last couple days I've been wanting to test myself at making simple UIs, as well as contributing to the modular computers feature, which has started to become pretty neat ever since PDAs were reworked into a subtype of it. Beside, coupons are a very small feature limited to the bottom of cigarette packs (also possibly cursed) in the current state of affairs. Cargo is filled with packs that are niche or fluff. Modular computers also has those little things that, while interesting, do not contribute a whole lot. Maybe this is one of them, but I guess free* coupons are always a big W. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added the 'Coupon Master' program for the PDA. Install it to receive periodical, redeemable coupons for several cargo packs. Requires NTnet connection and the messenger enabled to work. add: Coupons are no longer only limited to goodies, but may also apply discount to some other packs as well. /🆑 <sup>*minus the photocopier fee</sup> --------- Co-authored-by: Watermelon914 <37270891+Watermelon914@users.noreply.github.com>
