I realize that this is a tongue-in-cheek "game", and its good at that.

But I would argue that the proper mechanism for the random-pattern is a random-walk of the %increase or %loss at each step, and not the uniformly-varying price that's rather easy to game.

Perhaps this "game" is more fun with a uniformly-varying price however.

> random-walk of the %increase or %loss

If you randomly add or subtract x% at each step the price tends toward zero (100, 50, 75, 37.5, …)

thank you! agree completely. i have some ideas how to develop it further and add more randomness to it, but i really wanted to get something out as soon as possible, and if there's gonna be enough interest, i'm going to keep making it more complex, and, ultimately, more fun!
