Vendetta Stock Exchange Prototype.. stressing ;)

Jan 11, 2004 Sheean link
Ok, today I had a great deal of fun by having the VSE.. however, it`s kind of stressing to do all the formulas on a calculator from hell (a casio graphical calculator) while dozens of ppl are /msging you stuff and some idiot is spamming the textbox.. so to reduce the amount of 'stress' for me:

*Is VSE a bot?
Vendetta Stock Exchange is *NOT* a bot, it's just me, my calculator, and a piece of paper
*Where is VSE?
Vendetta Stock Exchange is in sector 9; if you want something from him, use sector chat. Wait for your turn if you see somebody is beeing helped
*What are stocks?
Pieces of paper with a value attached to them, somebody buys: price goes up, somebody sells: price goes down. At the moment it's for each bought: +1 cr. for each sold: -1 cr. In the future the numbers will be larger I think, or there will be a 'handeling fee' to make some profit out of this ;)
*Does VSE has a web-site?
No
*Is this a scam?
No :P
*What is the value of the stock
It began at 10 cr. and now it's at 978 cr. /stock there are currently 5 people who own stock.
*Will vendetta have a stock market?
I don't know, I sure hope so ;)
*What formulas do you use?
Value of stock: 10+x (x=number of stocks in stock market)
Buying new stock: a = value of stock, b = number of stocks you buy
((a-1)+(b+1)/2)*b
Selling stocks: x=number of stocks in stock market, stock, b = number of stocks you sell
((9+(x+1)/2)*x) - ((9+(x-b+1)/2)*(x-b))

As you can see, if you sell stocks; it takes me some time to get that in my calculator ;)

Haha

That definately needs to be bottified. Or at the very least write a quick and dirty Visual Basic program to help yourself out ;)

Use basic on your calculator to make it easy... assuming you've got a TI-83 or better

Yes, but my 'basic' 'skills' are.. well.. lacking on that TI-83 ;)
I'll try and write a program on it... one day.. I just wished I had a 2th computer; I had already made a simple java program to calculate this all for me once. -.-
