Deliverables
For this section of the homework, inside the landscaper folder you should have an and app.php that simulates the landscaper game outlined above. Your app must have:
- The ability to take user input
- The ability for the user to earn money
- The ability to buy tools and use the new tool
- The ability to win the game and end it
- Hint: Try setting the win amount to $10 frst, then $50, and etc. until you get to the end to allow for easier testing!
Technical Requirements
- Your landscaper game must run on first load with no syntax errors
- If there are errors you can't solve, comment them out and leave a comment above it explaining what is wrong
Submission Guidelines
- Submit your homework via github issues and please don't forget to fill out the form!
Hungry for More?
- Add the ability to reset the game at any point so that you can play again
- Make it so that a user can have multiple tools, and money earned each day is increased appropriately (e.g. 2 scissors, and an old-timey push lawnmower means you earn $60/day )
- Once you've implemented multiple tools, make it so you can sell tools for half price
