Inspiration

We were inspired by idle games and a game that was used in an assignment for a personal financial literacy class that two of our team members took.

What it does

Our game is a simulation of the financial side of life. It teaches the player the importance of things like investment, insurance, and budgets. By offering many kinds of investments and insurance, we challenge the player to explore options and see what works.

How we built it

We used the pygame library.

Challenges we ran into

Pygame doesn't have a lot of inbuilt functions for user interaction. We had to learn how to do all of the programming for creating the UI.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the amount of financial literacy we learned over the course of this hackathon. It will not only benefit us in the future, but it will allow us to benefit others like we are doing with this game. We are also proud of being able to make a functional experience in pygame because none of us have used it before.
