#2Hey, I want to share a small game I made. Here's the link to the github. [1]
This was made with Sveltekit, TailwindCSS, ChartJS, and hosted as a static website on netlify.

#3This is brilliant

#4In practice, you're not just betting on a random walk, you're also reading the news and thinking about the company's outlook, its thesis, and its public sentiment. You also have other indicators like volume, and fundamentals such as earnings. There's day trading and longer time horizon investing. As you can see, it's a bit easier to do the latter instead :)

It's a fun game! A nice addition would be to tell the player at the end what was the maximum that they could make, and how.

That's a great suggestion, to show potential max loss and max gain.

Feels like the flappy bird of paper trading! Short sweet and addictive.

Or seeing a "ghost" line showing either what a (simple/mostly-random) AI/NPC is doing, or other current/previous players of the same seed.
Something to make it more competitive/addictive.
It's still pretty fun though for sure.

#9It feels like the goal is to make some point about how stock trading is gambling or just a losing proposition but you'd have to be a total idiot to trade in a manner anything like this game in real life.
Of course if you treat a random stock as a roulette wheel you might lose. That's not much of a profound insight.

#10This feels rigged. It seems to go up when I sell and go down when I hold. It could just be that I'm a bad player, though.
