$Trade$ - Experimental Gameplay Project Entry

Hi folks,

This time I decided to take part in the Experimental Gameplay Project, where the goal is to make a game in less than seven days on a specific topic every month.

This month's theme was Numbers, so I made a trading simulation where the only enemy is your greed! Try to stay healthy enough to enjoy your money before the time runs out.

The gameplay is pretty basic: you can buy or sell stock but for every trade you make, you need to spend a little energy. Sleeping recharges you a little bit and be aware of potential trading dramas!

The game is packed as a .jar file that you can get here. You should be able to run that by double-clicking on the file if you have a recent version of Java around.

Have fun! If you get more than 30K, you are pretty good!

The music is taken from the Open Source Audio section of the internet Archive. Direct link.
The font comes from dafont.com and it is called "Digital-7". Sound effects made with the speech synthesizer of Mac OS (I have some issues regarding the licensing of those effects, if anyone can point me in the right direction). I used JavaLayer to read the MP3 in java.
