# About LifeSim Tycoon

LifeSim Tycoon is a minimalist text-based idle game that puts you in control of a new life. Starting at age 18 with no money, job, or home, your goal is to navigate the challenges of adult life and build a successful future. The game unfolds automatically, with time passing and key life events occurring, but your strategic decisions will determine your ultimate fate.

You'll need to manage three core stats: Money, Health, and Happiness. Earning money requires getting a job, but jobs can take a toll on your well-being. You must balance work with leisure activities, upgrade your living situation, and invest in education to unlock better opportunities. Watch as your character ages, your bank account grows, and your life changes based on the choices you make. The game ends if your health or happiness drops to zero, so every decision matters.

## How to Play

The objective of LifeSim Tycoon is to survive and thrive by making smart financial and lifestyle choices.

- **The Game Loop:** Time passes automatically every few seconds (a "tick"), simulating one day. With each day, your stats will change, you'll earn income from your job, and you may have to pay expenses like rent.
- **Getting Started:** Your first priority is to get a job. Click the "Upgrades" button, navigate to the "Jobs" section, and apply for a position you qualify for (like the Janitor).
- **Managing Stats:** Keep a close eye on your Health and Happiness bars. If they get low, click the "Actions" button to perform activities like "Take a Walk" or "Go to Gym" to boost them. These activities may cost money.
- **Progression:** Use the money you earn to improve your life. Click the "Upgrades" button to:
    - **Buy a Home:** Move out of homelessness into better living situations for a happiness boost.
    - **Get an Education:** Invest in education to qualify for higher-paying jobs.
    - **Find a Better Job:** Apply for new jobs once you meet the educational requirements.
- **Game Over:** The game ends if your Health or Happiness stat reaches zero.

## Features

- **Career Progression:** Start from the bottom with an entry-level job and pursue education to become a high-earning professional like a Doctor or Engineer.
- **Lifestyle Management:** Upgrade your living situation from being homeless to owning a fancy condo, with each home impacting your daily happiness.
- **Idle &amp; Offline Progress:** The game automatically saves and simulates your progress while you're away. Come back to see the income you've earned and the days that have passed.
- **Dynamic Life Stats:** Constantly juggle your finances, physical health, and mental well-being. Neglecting one area can lead to a premature end to your journey.
- **Minimalist Interface:** A clean, dark-mode, and text-based UI makes the game easy to play and understand on both desktop and mobile devices.

## Controls

The game is controlled entirely with your mouse or by tapping on a touch screen.

- **Click/Tap "Actions":** Opens a menu of activities you can perform to affect your stats.
- **Click/Tap "Upgrades":** Opens a menu where you can apply for jobs, buy homes, and pay for education.

## Tips &amp; Strategies

- **Get a Job Immediately:** The first thing you should do is get a job. The income, however small, is essential for everything else.
- **Balance Your Stats:** Don't just focus on making money. If your Health and Happiness get too low, you'll lose the game. Spend money on activities from the "Actions" menu to keep them topped up.
- **Invest in Education:** Education is the key to long-term success. Saving up for a degree may seem slow, but the high-paying jobs it unlocks will dramatically accelerate your income growth.
