DescriptionStockPro is a game about buying and selling stocks to make your money grow. It was influenced by an old Petit Computer game Mariominer created with the same name. InstructionsFor menus, use the D-pad. In Manage Stocks, you use R and L to scroll through stocks. You click B to cancel a purchase or sale, and you can exit menus with X. You can skip the News by holding A. Other than that, it's pretty simple. You start out with 20 dollars. Use it wisely.NotesPlease inform me of any bugs or if you would like to be in the next release.
Version 1.0 (initial release):
Includes a chart, news, stocks, stock splitting, and goes by month.
Charts are 6 months. No more, no less (unless you're less than 6 months into the game)
Stocks will split if their value is over 9000.
You cannot own more stocks than are available.
Random music plays each month.
Saving and loading are in the game, as well as a save file, but are not currently useable in the menu
Version 1.1
Added Achievements, which are gained with smart stock manipulation and quick money-grabbing.
Added Saving and Loading.
Fixed issues with charts
Charts now tell you their scale.
Now companies will go bankrupt.
Once all companies go bankrupt, new random companies will be created
Now menus have more constant controls and looks
Put in another company (sorry 12Me21)
Buying and Selling stocks will tell you how much money you have and how much money you'll end with.
Probably some other small fixes
29 Comment(s)TheCoder501Nice game! I started adding in my own stuff , which was fun. Oh , and one more thing. How does the SPTEXT work?12Me21Syntax HighlighterReceived for creating the code syntax highlighter on SBSNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfIt's probably a user DEFined function that draws letters using sprites.MariominerFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsitePromoted PageMy page was promoted on SmileBASIC Source!AchievementsExpert ProgrammerProgramming no longer gives me any trouble. Come to me for help, if you like!Programming StrengthOh, SPTEXT if fairly simple because ASC("A")=65 and the sprite for A is number 65. SPTEXT basically just puts sprites of characters together, spaced accordingly. It doesn't, however, take into account any other factors. That means that if you tried to SPTEXT CHR$(65536), you'd get an error.GuzzlerFirst WeekJoined in the very first week of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteDrawingI like to draw!HobbiesIntermediate ProgrammerI can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there.

Wall Street Kid is a game for NES that is all about stocks and is amazingly boring.joelableFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express YourselfVideo GamesI like to play video games!Hobbiesyes
stocks themselves are very boringTheCoder501It's kinda cool but...yeah.MariominerFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsitePromoted PageMy page was promoted on SmileBASIC Source!AchievementsExpert ProgrammerProgramming no longer gives me any trouble. Come to me for help, if you like!Programming StrengthHow would anyone think of this:
A system where you can download company DLC and install it (so each company pack could have a file which you'd download into the project and then you'd run a program to install those companies)? It would be actual DLC, unlike what I've mostly seen before.Mr0R305I would love that!! =D
Buy the world... Check
Find new companies and buy them... So close

Come to me for help, if you like!Programming StrengthI have no idea how this happens. It's supposed to be where the stock price is the stock price before multiplied by 1+the percent change/100. IDK What's happening.mystman12First DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsiteIntermediate ProgrammerI can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming StrengthDeep SleepHiddenWebsiteMan, this game is really addicting! I just wish there was a way to save (I don't want to close the program!), and an actual goal to the game. Like, if you had 60 months, and you had to try and make as much money as possible in that time period, or had to make $10,000 in as few months as you can. The GUI is also pretty inconsistent in presentation and controls, but I assume you're working on that.
Also, are the graphs working properly, or do I just not understand how to read them? They seem to fluctuate very inconsistently month-to-month. Listing the values on each graph would really help keep track of scale and how much the graph's represent.MariominerFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsitePromoted PageMy page was promoted on SmileBASIC Source!AchievementsExpert ProgrammerProgramming no longer gives me any trouble. Come to me for help, if you like!Programming StrengthYeah, I'm trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with the graphs. It's like their backwards, but they're not. And sometimes, they cut off incorrectly. It doesn't make any sense. The GUI is definitely getting an update, especially on the Buy/Sell screen (seriously, Mariominer, just text characters? Not even sprite characters?). And the next one will also have certain "achievements" to work towards. Making 10,000 in 5 years or so might be a good one.KrondeloNo, the news said every day that stocks kept getting lower, but most of them were actually staying the same from what I could tell. No change, just one at the bottom reached zero.MariominerFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsitePromoted PageMy page was promoted on SmileBASIC Source!AchievementsExpert ProgrammerProgramming no longer gives me any trouble. Come to me for help, if you like!Programming StrengthHmm, I'll have to look into that. The code SHOULD be making them go down. Odd.PixelStudioPretty good. Just one thing, mind adding our current capital when were buying/selling stocks?

Come to me for help, if you like!Programming Strength*doh! That may be important! Yeah, I'll put that in.KrondeloSo I was playing for a bit today and noticed some problems. I'm not sure if its a bug or the game can't run infinitely, but firstly if a stock hits $0, you can still buy them. Then the game seemed to get stuck in a loop of having the stocks keep going down, but I think they weren't changing at all, even after skipping 20+ months.
If a stock hits zero, you could make an event where the company has gone bankrupt, and you lose all your stocks in said company.MariominerFirst DayJoined on the very first day of SmileBASIC SourceWebsitePromoted PageMy page was promoted on SmileBASIC Source!AchievementsExpert ProgrammerProgramming no longer gives me any trouble. Come to me for help, if you like!Programming StrengthYeah, I was thinking about having that, but I forgot, so yeah. Will keep In mind. With the stocks going down, were they at zero? I've not seen that happen before.12Me21Syntax HighlighterReceived for creating the code syntax highlighter on SBSNight PersonI like the quiet night and sleep late.Express Yourself"you can exit most menus with X (B if X is not it)"
This does not seem like the best choice...
