Water Game

Original idea and code by Matthew Leitch
Visit Matthew's Website: Internal Controls Design

This game simulates selling buckets of water. You control the price, up or down. Visitors enter from time to time and each is willing to spend a different amount on one bucket. Some are limited by their funds. Your sale will always be to the person willing and able to pay the most. After they've bought a bucket they leave. If you need more time to think then click the button to slow the game down. You can start adjusting the price now if you like, or wait to see how sales progress.
