Summer Business: Lemonade! (Lemonade Stand) by Valerio Capello

Week  :  
Budget: $
Price : ¢

Sugar : Kg.
Lemons: Kg.
Cups  :    

HOW TO PLAY: You are a kid who decided to earn some money during the summer, so you thought it was a good idea to sell lemonades every saturday. You built your lemonade stand with cheap materials, then you asked 10 bucks to your parents to start your business. Every week you have to buy lemons, sugar, and descartable cups, depending on your budget, the stuff left from the previous week, and the forecast for the next saturday (you'll sell more in the hot days, rather than in the cooler ones). On saturdays you have to state the price per cup you are going to sell your lemonade. People are most likely to pay more during the hottest days. HISTORY: Yet another text-only based game from the early years of popular computer science (it can probably be dated before than 1985). Note: This game is written for Netscape 4. It runs under Netscape 3 and Internet Explorer 4 or later as well, but since the data input procedure I wrote crashes these browsers (looks like I invented a new advanced programming technique...), I had to wrote an alternative data input routine for them, which shows a floating request box on the screen which covers part of the background text and graphics, so you'll have to move it in order to see how many sugar, lemons, and cups left you have (click on the "move panel to the top" text under the "Start Business!" button to do that automagically). Also, on these browsers you will not be able to see the stuff decreasing while selling, missing part of the fun...
