Welcome to my game!
Known issues:
- Being a WebGL game the Quit Game button on the menu doesn't work correctly
- The Back to Titlescreen button on the Lose screen doesn't work correctly. Not sure why either...
- Not really an issue just something I forgot to solve for, but it is possible to click the reroll button when you have used them all of the dice and none are left in the dice tray. Nothing happen other than hearing the dice rolling sound.
- The display of money isn't correctly formatted... i.e. there are no commas
- The phase button initially say Drilling Phase when it should say End Drilling Phase
Please let me know if you find any more bugs. I did my best to squash as many of them as I could.
TLDR:
*Drilling:* each depth box needs a pair of dice to work. i.e. 1 1 2 2 3 3
After you place the dice click the *Roll Result Die* to see the outcome
Click *Reroll* to reroll all of the dice in the dice tray, but you only get *one per phase*
Click *End Drilling Phase* to move onto Processing Phase
*Processing:* all of the dice in the Processing panel will be added together and there total will be multiplied by a number to determine how much money you get so the higher the die number the better.
Click *Roll Result Die* to determine outcome
Click *End of Day* to start a new day
Each Phase has a 34% or 2/6 chance of failing.
Failing costs $250,000 for Drilling and $200,000 for Processing plus and additional day
It costs $1000 * 100/200/300m depending on which one you do but you only pay if you are successful
*Drilling With Dice*
You are a failing mining company who has 30 days to fine the rare mineral Ludarium, which is 3500 meters down. If you cannot then your company will go bankrupt. You start with $1,000,000.
You start by DRILLING the ground in hopes of finding something you can sell to continue to fund this expedition. Your drill and processing machine are old and have a 34% chance of failing on any given day. It costs $250,000 to replace your drill bit and $200,000 to fix the processing machine.
You have 3 depths you can drill at, 100m, 200m, or 300m. It costs $100,000 per 100m. If you were to drill 300m then it would cost $300,000. Your drill can fail no matter how deep you go but you need to reach 3500m before the end of 30 days or the mining company will go bankrupt.
To Drill you need to *place pairs of dice* into each depth slot you want to drill. For instance if you want to drill 300m then you would need 3 pairs of dice, one for each depth.
A full day consists of Drilling and Processing.
If the drill does fail then you only need to pay to have it repaired but you will lose an extra day because of it.
If you are successful with the Drilling you will then move on to Processing the ground you just drilled in hopes of finding something useful to sell.
Processing just requires you to place the dice in the Processing slots. The larger the numbers then more money you will make as all of the numbers on the dice are added together.
You only get one Reroll per Drilling and Processing.
You can still fail while Processing and it will take a day to get the machine up and running.
Good Luck!!
