Lemonade Stand Unlimited

[SierraKen]

Hi all,

Some of you might remember an old Lemonade Stand I made in here years ago. It's actually been on my forum section. But the last week or 2 I've been working on a much better one. This one has real pictures that introduce the text descriptions and choices. Keep the "pics" folder as the same name so it can find them. It might take a few times to get used to the game and when you really start raking in the dough, it gets fun.  
I suggest buying signs early in the game, they help a lot. You can also save and load games that are saved as .dat text files. In this zip file I'll include "lotto.dat". I'll let you guess what that is.  When you load and save the games, don't add the .dat ending, it does it automatically. Also, if you want to see a list of all the saved files, there's a selection to type and it brings up the Windows Notepad to show you the list on there. I tried FILES but it's the old MS-DOS that only shows up to 8 characters I think in a file name. I could also try to use the Windows File Open/Save dialog, but I don't think I want to make this that advanced. When it shows the Notepad on this game, it makes a tiny temp.dir file in the same folder. 

Anyway, put the zip files in a separate folder and enjoy.  But also tell me what you think, took a long time to make this one.

Edit: I just did a quick edit on the game code, adding the words not to use ".dat" on the saving the game section. It was already on the loading section.
Edit: Made a limit on Internet ads and reducing the amount of people to see them. Also changed a few other numbers and fixed a line or 2.
Edit: Fixed a saving issue with Internet Ads.
Edit: Changed equations for amount you sell for raising prices and weather changes. Also changed the menu from 2 screens to 1. I also changed the picture code from If image&<>0 for _FREEIMAGE to just IF image& THEN _FREEIMAGE. Also added a DIM for image&. Also added a trillion dollar limit to the game.
Edit: As per grymmjack's request on my forum section, I changed the filename of the zip and .bas to not include any spaces or apostrophe so there won't be problems with Linux users.

Looks cool, Ken! So far, so good... As you say, it may take a while to become proficient. Pity about those damn leaves! Onward and upward.

LOLOL Phil... the bad stuff can happen about 30% of the time I believe, but it also has to be after the 5th day, so people can be ready for it. lol

I think I've found my calling:

The problem is thanks to Bidenomics that income won't get you very far. Thanks to Joe, the dollar got squeezed more than those lemons.

LOLOLOLOL I see you found Lotto.   

LOL Pete.

[SierraKen]

I just added the Lotto save as a goofy thing mostly, or if people just want to see what it's like as a billionaire Lemonade Stand seller.

I did not cheat though I question your math in some of those calculations. BTW several times the game showed an error and I had to answer Yes to continue.

Lotto save? no save I played the game straight form downmload and when I reached 40 days that's what I had.

[SierraKen]

WOW! That is strange about the error messages, but I haven't played more than 10 days per game yet. I'll check it out more soon. Thanks for telling me. I wonder if they are the pictures not loading? 
The math is mostly random, like the real world kinda. I just made the chances better for more things you buy. But you can still get like 1 person if you have like 3 signs, it's just a very slim chance.

Yeah when I worked up to stand level 4 and 10 Internet ads, I was getting like 400,000 buying customers a day and I was charging $15 a cup just to see what I could get away with. I was ordering truck loads of cups and lemonade. I ran out of lemonade on 2 days and cups one of those days.
