# About Cozy Corner Farm

Cozy Corner Farm is a delightful and simple HTML5 farming simulation game with a charming, Disney-inspired aesthetic. Step into your own little virtual garden and experience the joy of planting, nurturing, and harvesting a variety of magical crops. Starting with a small plot of land and some gold, your goal is to manage your resources wisely, grow your farm, and earn more gold.

The game features a 2x2 grid of farm plots where you can cultivate crops like Wheat, Tomatoes, Carrots, Corn, and Potatoes. Each crop has its own unique cost, selling price, growth time, and visual growth stages. Watch your crops change color and even sparkle when they're ready for harvest! The interface provides clear feedback on your gold, selected actions, and helpful messages, all wrapped in a pastel-colored, cozy visual style.

## How to Play

1.  **Select a Seed:** Click on a seed button in the top UI panel (e.g., "Wheat ($5)"). The cost of the seed is shown on the button. Your currently selected seed will be highlighted and noted in the "Current Action" display.
2.  **Planting:** Click on an empty brown soil plot on the game canvas. If you have enough gold, the seed will be planted, your gold will decrease, and the crop will begin its first growth stage. The seed selection is automatically cleared after planting.
3.  **Growing:** Crops progress through several growth stages automatically over time. You can click on a growing crop to see its name, current stage, and growth progress percentage. A progress bar will also appear at the bottom of the plot for growing crops.
4.  **Harvesting:** When a crop is fully grown (reaching its final stage), it will sparkle. Click on a sparkling plot to harvest the crop. The plot will become empty soil again, and you'll earn gold based on the crop's sell price. A floating text effect will show the gold earned.
5.  **Repeat:** Use your earnings to buy more seeds and continue the cycle of planting and harvesting to maximize your gold!
