This game requires the latest version of Java to run.
This game is a stock market simulator. In the game, you start out with 1 dollar and you have exactly 1 year to make as much money as you can.
I thought this idea game would fit with the theme because You Only Get One dollar at the start and You Only Get One year to make as much money as possible.
EDIT: Thanks to Eric, I decided to replace the button presses with an input dialog box. It is now much less tedious to buy and sell 'stock'.
EDIT 2: I noticed that this game sometimes freezes your computer and some people have to force restart. I think this has to do with people not having the latest version of java. If anybody knows how to fix this problem, please feel free to comment the problem.
EDIT 3: I think the problem was the thread not taking a sleep time. I added a sleep time as it "crashed" computers, so hopefully it fixes the crashing...
This game is awesome. Only suggestion i have is instead of just a button you have to click a million times have some kind of input box that you can type the amount you want to sell
I love mangment games, I think that is great that you make this in less and 48h, you should play gazillionaire i think that is a great example of this type of game.
From what I saw, this is a great game! Very cool concept for my as I LOVE stocks. Cool and usable interface. Although it says my game is running at 59-85FPS, the game won't register input after the menu screen and I have to force quit it via task manager. Keep it up!
Minor nitpick: A trading year only has ~252 days. And some kind of Thread.sleep() in your game loop could be useful to prevent it from freezing computers.
nice idea, but it has some bugs: - for some reason, it gave me much more money than I expected when I sold some stocks, resulting in the immediate possibility to buy hundreds of the most expensive ones and making the game too easy - sometimes I can't read how many stocks I have because the text is behind the buttons!
Hehe, got to 8*10^12$ or so, the end screen just displays the maximum value of a 32 bit integer (2 147 483 647). I guess I shouldn't have been able to buy 1*10^9 shares (maybe the max here is also 2 147 483 647) of MeTube at 1$ and sell them the next day for 50$ a pop ;).
Interesting game, although I think I cheated. There could be a lot of depth in this, if you wished to take it into that direction. Good job!

Great concept, I like the idea to start with only 1 $
I have made only 96,737,396... but if this game were to be real, that would be over-powered lol.
