A stock exchange game inspired by HSX.com, Hash Exchange (or Hashex) uses current popularity in hashtags as measurement of current "value" of in game currency.
Players can begin research of a hashtag if it is not available and then either buy long or short stock in that hashtag.
Currently, the .htaccess file should direct all requests back to index.php in the root. This makes it behave like a router.
TODO: Better UI using proper back end structure and a not faked router.
For now project will need hashcash.sql imported for schema before anything will run.
TODO: Make this into a migration.
The UI is kept simple so most of the fun stuff happens in a sudo-CRON file that scraps twitter and all other time related tasks.
This is under cron/run.php and can be run with a simple php run.php from that folder.
TODO: Uhh actually this all works pretty good right now. But it's maintenance hell.
Develop branch is running at http://hashex.ca (no longer available)
TODO: Pipeline for master to push here automatically!
Road map includes things like
- Lottery: Take a chance at winning (static price or maybe dynamic % of all trades last 24 hrs?) dollars.
- Boosts: Something like buy other things like an additional research point or the one off ability to invest in a stock at past value
