- Welcome to stock simulation/game V0.02. This is program comes with all
- source code, units and data files. This program has not even begun to
- be developed yet. All source is in Turbo Pascal version 4 and above. If
- you are a programmer, either in hobby or professionally and can understand
- Pascal, look through the source and debug, add document, beutify, horrify,
- whatever you feel will make this program more interesting. Then, go to
- this file and write your name, the bbs that you can be reached at, its number,
- and a short description of what you did to improve the program. Here is the
- list so far:
-
- Contributor: BBS: Contributions:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Andrew Verba Compu-Data BBS Added the graphing function.
- X-Evious BBS I found several bugs in the
- sell procedure. Updated the version
- to V0.02.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- After you insert yourself in the list, upload all of the work files back
- to the bbs, under a different name. Be sure to say that this is a stock
- market game or simulation and state the version number V0.03 ect.. in the
- description. Update the version by 0.01 unless you feel that you contributed
- especially to the program, in which case add .1 or even 1 to the version
- number!! Finally document this file to describe the changes you made,
- if you want to.
-
- There are several source files so far:
- menu.pas - contains a menuing procedure as well as a box drawing
- procedure. The menu procedure needs to be expanded to include
- a title at the top of the menu, and the ability to have
- more elements than those displayed on the screen:
- |--------|
- |choice 1|
- |choice 2| |
- |--------| \|/ scroll down to get
- choice 3 more choices
- choice 4
-
- Sunit.pas - general purpose unit holding some of the procedures
- and general functions. Desperately needs documentation!
- more units may also be needed!
-
- stock.pas - main program holding all of the main procedures.
- all of the procedures need to be organized! variables
- need to be sorted out. Especially the dynamic variable
- that records each stock and its price, the dow average,
- and the players total assets. Also, a dispose procedure
- has to be done to release all the heap of this dynamic
- variable when you quit the simulation.
-
- And remeber,
- this doesn't just have to be a stock game in content. If you want to
- add bonds, t-bills, commodities, options go right ahead, even little
- arcade sections like pacman as little trinkets of the game would be helpfull.
- I was thinking of a boss key option some spreadsheet, or dos prompt would
- be nice.
-
-
- Well, overall, alot can be added to this program. If you want to
- be remembered as doing something for this great program, contribute.
- It could eventually be as big as Fractals v17.00 is today.
-

-
-
- Good Luck
- and May GOD give you the power of programming
-
- from the Creator.
