The Multiplayer Stock Market Game is an online platform where players can compete against each other in a virtual stock market simulation. The game allows players to buy and sell stocks in real-time, just like in the real stock market, but with virtual currency. Players start with a certain amount of virtual money and can use it to purchase stocks from various companies listed in the game.
The goal of the game is to make the most profit by investing wisely in the stock market. Players can analyze the stock market trends, keep an eye on the news affecting the stock market, and use their financial knowledge to make smart investments. The game provides real-time stock prices and a leaderboard to track the performance of each player.
Players can create their private games with friends or colleagues. The game can be played for a set duration, or until a specific profit target is reached. At the end of the game, the player with the highest profit wins.
The Multiplayer Stock Market Game is a fun and interactive way to learn about the stock market and investment strategies while competing against other players. It provides a risk-free environment for players to experiment with various investment techniques and develop their trading skills.
The main challenge I ran into, while making this game, was the lack of working with realtime communication technologies. But then, after experimenting upon different libraries, I chose socket.io because of the easy to understand documentation and the ease of use.
