       | Author here. Thanks for reading this post. I had fun making this
       | and thought the path that led me to this might be interesting for
       | others.
       | 
       | I'm really interested in feedback and ideas on things I could
       | improve and add. I found this really inspiring as it got me more
       | into programming, discovering electronics, and 3d printing.
       | 
       | I have no desire to ever make this project commercial, but it's
       | been a great platform for me to learn and experiment new things
       | so I'll take any idea be it for the gameplay or purely technical.
       | Some features I have in mind are:
       | 
       | - Multiplayer over bluetooth where one device is the 'game-
       | master' running the exchange and can monitor and guide players
       | while injecting events.
       | 
       | - Additional quoting algos such as pegging one side of the order
       | book and fighting for position
       | 
       | - A tutorial and better UI. The game is hard to pick up for the
       | first time and probably needs to be made more intuitive etc.
       | 
       | While all of this was made with no practical use in mind (there
       | are a lot of markets and products, and you'd trade them in
       | different ways, so you'd need a different game to speak to a
       | volatility trader for example), some people I work with at
       | various trading desks found it useful for interviews or as an
       | introduction to the idea of market-making for junior people.

         | market-making?

         | This is a really cool project. When I was at Unity, we had a
         | team build a Westworld themed isometric Gameboy game that would
         | let you monitor and admin k8s!

       | Interesting project! The kid is only mentioned at the beginning,
       | I wonder if they participated further in the project, or if they
       | enjoyed playing the game?
