Stock Surfer at game jam

Thanks for hosting Ian!

There, we brainstormed for an hour or two. One of the ideas we brainstormed was Stock Surfer, in which you surf the value of a stock.

The simulation sounded similar to the simulation mechanics of Trip on a Funny Boat. That game's Python code is an excellent example of how to program a simple, yet well-organized and easy to modify game. So excellent, that we modified it.

After three hours that night, mostly by Ian and myself, we had working code for seeing data-driven stock waves.

After two more hours on Sunday, I put in a crude shark and drag when climbing a steep wave.

Charlie Silver also contributed Friday. He drew the surfer and shark jaws.

Ian, hope you host a jam again soon!
