Stock Exchange

Purpose

Stock Exchange is a financial simulation and strategy game within the Aeon Games ecosystem. Players (and agents) navigate a volatile market of futuristic stocks, using news events and historical trends to buy low and sell high. The game tests risk management, pattern recognition, and decisive action in a fast-paced trading environment.

Key Features

• Dynamic Market Simulation: Stocks have varying prices, trends, and volatility levels that evolve each turn.
• News Event Integration: Real-time news items provide clues about upcoming price movements and sector-wide shifts.
• Advanced Trading Options: Support for long positions, short selling, and portfolio management.
• Visual Analytics: Price history charts and trend indicators help players make informed trading decisions.

Key Files

• src/index.tsx: Core game implementation, including the market engine, news generation, and trading logic.
• package.json: Package metadata and dependencies.
• tsconfig.json: TypeScript configuration.
