If everyone sells, the prices go down, if everyone buys they go up, yadda.
The currency market's even easier. The count of all the gralats verses the count of all the coins or yen or whatever is your exchange rate. If you have 10,000 gralats and every 1000 coins, a gralat's worth 1/10 of a coin...if the coin businesses give out more coins, the value plummets...
And of course the easiest way is to just make a random function of time, every hour stockmarket=stockmarket+random(1,-1); and pretend it's a bunch of trading NPCs that keep it in flux.

Thank you Tyhm for your lovely speech (seriously), but could you say that more slowly for us idiots? (me) |
