A strategy replay simulator where you observe your trading strategies battle in the market. Write code that becomes a living strategy, watch it trade, and learn how it survives or falls in a competitive environment.
Program drones using simple Python programming language and automate various investment tasks to get boring simple work done. Press "Run" and experience the satisfaction of watching drones complete all the hard work for you.
Unlike many programming games, this game is not structured around clearing level by level, but progresses continuously.
Once you earn funds through tasks, you can use them to unlock the next technology.
Programming is done in simple Python language. The game is designed so that from the beginning, basic programming concepts that will be needed are introduced one by one, allowing you to learn them.
All relevant information is shown, but when solving various tasks in the game, explanations are not given one by one. You need to find solutions yourself. For people without programming experience, this may feel extremely challenging.
If you have extensive programming experience, you can breeze through the early stages of the game and progress to more complex tasks. It should still be an interesting challenge for you.
