The idea of The Invisible World is for the user to infer the supply and demand curve based on the original (price, quantity) point and several other points: these points may or may not correspond to the same demand and supply curve depending on a few exogenous variables. The player must tell which variable affects supply, and which affect demand.

In our implementation the concept was simplified:

  • no need to draw lines between points (allow user to click them)
  • no need to directly specify exogenous variables

Progress:

  • show price points and table at the side
  • on mouse hover, instead of changing colors, scale line
  • ask sometimes for the supply curve, not just the demand curve
  • maximum number of tries, and keep a global score
  • more exogenous variables, and also more commodities/services (suggestions?)
  • we probably want to get rid of the "new price point" button, and already start with enough points: the score is then given by the previously mentioned global score, rather than subtracted from original points as in the original
