Live Long and Prosper Complete! 7drl 2020 Day 5

Live Long and Prosper
A browser game made in HTML5

It's done!  I'm really happy with the game and I think it is quite fun.   The final days feature list sounds small, but it was a really important day.

First I tackled high score sorting, something broken for too long.  Something about this one scared me and I kept avoiding it, but in the end it only took an hour to complete.

Second, I decided to create a "Performance" view to show you more information about the short and long term effects of your investments.  Critically, this exposed bugs in most of my market sim calculations!  In all it took about 4 hours including fixing the calculations.  

With those done I was able to do final balancing.  I hadn't really thought the game needed it, but it made a big difference.  My brother said it feels less random and more focused on investing, which is the real goal.

Lastly, I had several meta things to do like making the trailer.  

Thanks for reading this far.  I hope you enjoy my game!
