# About Matrix Money Stream

Matrix Money Stream is an immersive idle clicker game set against the iconic backdrop of falling green digital rain. You begin as a lone operator in the digital world, earning your first dollars by manually clicking the code stream. As your funds grow, you can invest in automated systems to generate a steady flow of income.

The objective is simple: accumulate as much wealth as possible. Reinvest your earnings into more powerful upgrades, watch your income per second skyrocket, and become a master of the digital financial world. The game combines a satisfying progression loop with a cool, minimalist hacker aesthetic, making for a captivating and relaxing experience.

## How to Play

The gameplay is straightforward and focuses on a core loop of earning and upgrading.

1.  **Manual Earning:** Click anywhere on the falling code background to earn your initial money ($1.00 per click).
2.  **Buy Upgrades:** Use the money you've earned to purchase upgrades from the panel. There are two types: "Data Stream" and "Server".
3.  **Activate Passive Income:** Press the "Start Earning" button. Your purchased upgrades will now generate money automatically every second.
4.  **Reinvest and Grow:** As your passive income accumulates, you can afford more expensive and powerful upgrades. Note that the cost of each upgrade increases after every purchase.
5.  **Monitor Your Stats:** Keep an eye on your total money and income per second in the info panel to strategize your next purchase.

## Features

- **Iconic Matrix Aesthetic:** Features a dynamic, falling green code background that fully immerses you in the game's hacker theme.
- **Classic Idle Clicker Mechanics:** Enjoy the satisfying gameplay loop of clicking for initial funds, then buying upgrades to automate and exponentially increase your income.
- **Strategic Upgrades:** Choose between two different income-generating items—the cheaper "Data Stream" or the more powerful "Server"—to build your financial empire.
- **Responsive Design:** A clean, minimalist UI that works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile browsers.

## Controls

- **Mouse Left-Click:** Click on the background to earn money. Click on the UI buttons to buy upgrades or to start and stop your passive earning.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Kickstart Your Income:** In the beginning, click rapidly on the background to earn enough money for your first "Data Stream". This will get your passive income flowing quickly.
- **Don't Forget to Activate:** Your upgrades are useless until you press the "Start Earning" button. Make sure it's active to see your money grow.
- **Balance Your Investments:** While Servers provide a much higher income per second, their cost increases more rapidly. A good strategy is to buy a mix of Data Streams and Servers to maintain steady growth without waiting too long between purchases.
