# About Desert Jungle Greenery

Desert Jungle Greenery is a calming incremental game where your mission is to breathe life into a barren wasteland. Starting with just a single mango seed, you will cultivate a sprawling jungle, tile by tile. It's a game of patience and strategy, where every planted seed contributes to your ultimate goal of 100% greenery.

The core of the game revolves around a satisfying growth cycle. You plant seeds, watch them progress through various stages from sapling to mature tree, and then harvest the delicious mangoes they produce. These mangoes not only serve as a resource but also provide you with more seeds, allowing you to expand your jungle and accelerate your terraforming project. Watch the desert landscape slowly transform into a vibrant, living ecosystem through your efforts.

## How to Play

The objective is to cover the entire 10x10 desert grid with mango trees.

1.  **Start:** You begin with one seed. Click the "Start Greening" button to begin.
2.  **Planting Mode:** Click the "Plant Seed" button at the bottom to enter planting mode.
3.  **Place Your Seed:** Click on an empty desert tile to plant your seed. After your first tree, you can only plant on tiles adjacent to existing trees.
4.  **Growth:** The seed will automatically grow over time, passing through stages: Seed, Sapling, and Young Tree, before becoming a Mature Tree. A progress bar at the bottom of the tile indicates its growth.
5.  **Production:** Mature trees will automatically produce mangoes over time. You will see yellow fruit appear on the trees.
6.  **Harvest:** Click the "Harvest All" button to collect all mangoes from your mature trees.
7.  **Expand:** Harvesting mangoes also grants you more seeds. Use these new seeds to continue expanding your jungle across the grid.
8.  **Win:** The game is won when you have successfully covered 100% of the desert with greenery.

## Features

- **Progressive Growth System:** Witness the full life cycle of your trees as they evolve through four distinct stages, from a tiny seed to a fruit-bearing mature tree.
- **Idle Resource Production:** Once your trees mature, they work for you by automatically producing mangoes, allowing you to progress even while you're away.
- **Strategic Grid Expansion:** Carefully plan where you plant your seeds on the 10x10 grid. New trees must be planted next to existing ones, requiring you to think about how your jungle grows.
- **Autosave Functionality:** Your progress is saved automatically to your browser every few seconds, so you can always pick up right where you left off.
- **Relaxing Gameplay:** With a simple interface and a calming objective, it's the perfect game to unwind and watch something beautiful grow.

## Controls

- **Mouse Left-Click / Tap:** Use your mouse or finger to interact with the UI buttons ("Plant Seed", "Harvest All") and to select tiles on the grid for planting.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Early Harvests:** In the beginning, focus on getting your first few trees to the mature stage. Harvest as soon as they produce fruit to quickly build up your seed supply.
- **Centralized Expansion:** Start planting near the center of the grid. This maximizes the number of adjacent empty tiles, giving you more options for expansion as you gain more seeds.
- **Bulk Harvesting Bonus:** Wait for several trees to have mangoes before harvesting. Each mango harvested has a chance to yield extra seeds, so harvesting in bulk can significantly increase your seed count and speed up your progress.
