Add TXN - Texas Instruments   (It's in the NYSE)

check the first post, its been edited

Oooh, me likey.
I'm tempted to try this in Lua!

Not sure if I'll try to keep mine similar to yours (if you post more detail ) or if I'll go off and make my own UI and other st00f.

Spoiler For realization:

Holy crap, this is the first time I'll be programming in like 5 weeks. Freaking school, taking up all my time  :'(

I'm trying to post all progress. Will you be doing this in TI Lua? For now all I'm doing is learning about the stock market. Also, I think boot is doing this in TI BASIC.

AAPL is apple inc.

what is PEAR?

I have the main engine figured out(not coded on-calc, but all written out on paper ). will post code soon.

I support boot2490's request

And yes, I will be doing this specifically for TI-NSpires (though since I am without a CX, I will forgo color)

I sor tof realized that because you can't get on the internet in the calc...
Also, you can't control the downs and ups..

Welp, I might as well post my plan.

You have 1 year to play, and to make as much money as possible.
You will start out with a compound loan (how about for $10,000) and you will have to repay it before the game is over to win.
Each day will consist of approximately 10 seconds (this makes the game just about an hour long, excluding time spent in dialogue menus).

Instead of taking real stock info I plan to generate a large list of companies with varying properties, such as what sector they are involved in, they're current price, how their company/stock is fairing (steady, rising, falling, spiking, plummeting), and any other shit I can think of.
I think I'll make all this info random, so you can't just play the same strategies over and over.

Then, the fun part.
The market.

Now, since I'll be doing this in Lua, I'll probably have the most power among the different versions, and I plan to spend this power simulating a market. Based on the companies current fairings, numerous 'bots' will trade stocks.
If the bots notice a rise in price, they'll continue buying, sending the price higher, however, I'll have to limit this.
If the bots notice a decline, some might begin to sell (this opens up a new venue for bot personalities (long-term investors vs. short-term)), while other will hold off.
Buy low, sell high, make profit.

As the player, you'll have to navigate this treacherous new market, and not blow all your money.
I'll probably include a tutor for the first few minutes to teach you how to use things, and to show you which stocks would be safe/good starting investments.

Onto the game play.
It will revolve around a GUI which lists stock prices and st00f.
When you want to do something, you'll hit a button, which opens a menu (and pauses game advancement).
From here, you buy, sell, manage your loans, and maybe a few other stock-esque things I'm unsure of (short-trading).

I hope to make the game really interactive, like allowing you to see price graphs, and other cool things.

To me, it sounds interesting, but I want to hear your feedback Omnimaga.
