Game Details:

At the moment The Market Prototype is very bare-bones. I have the basic infrastructure in place, and it is technically playable, though. There are two product shares available to buy/sell; Cola and Coffee. The prices fluctuate up and down, within a certain margin, and it is your job to decide the best time to buy or sell.

Currently there is no real use for the in-game money, aside from buying stocks. But, I have plans to change that in the future, such as some kind of upgrades you'd spend your money on.

Note:
I only have access to a Windows PC, so the Linux version is untested.
Feedback as to whether it works, or if it works differently, is appreciated.

Game Controls:
Up and Down Arrow Keys - Navigate Shares
Left and Right Arrow Keys - Buy or Sell Shares
