// How to play
Type your name and press Aceptar. You start the year with 1200 credits and five companies: Fecsa-Endesa, Repsol-YPF, Telefónica, JV. Soft and General Motors. C buys one share at the price shown under Inversiones, V sells one. Próximo día moves the market on one day: each price goes up or down by a random percentage (Ganancias), and smaller companies swing harder. Every 30 days you get a monthly wage. If a share price falls to 4 or less the company goes into BANCARROTA and your shares in it are lost.
Click a company name for its price chart. Financias shows your cash and your total worth (Valor virtual); Consultoría costs 1 € a day and shows the year's gains plus a scrolling ticker. After 365 days your total worth goes into the top-5 Records; press Salir there to save them.
// Revisited
Rebuilt in HTML5 + JavaScript from the original Visual Basic 6 source (WST.frm, graph.frm, Consult.frm, Financias.frm, Modsavs.bas, 2001). The price formulas, the wage, the bankruptcy rule, the texts and the default records (JV., MoRpHeUs, NeO G30, BrOKer, ShIT) are the original ones, and numbers use the decimal comma of the Spanish Windows it ran on. The records are saved in this browser instead of the Windows registry.
The charts were drawn by the Microsoft Chart control left at its defaults: 3D bars in its stock red, green, blue, yellow, magenta and cyan. They are redrawn on a canvas in that style; the exact 3D viewing angle is an approximation. The Quartz and OCR A Extended fonts are used if your system has them. One fix: the general chart used to crash the program when Fecsa-Endesa went bankrupt before the other companies; it now draws every series. Kept as it was: Consultoría charges its 1 € even if you answer Cancelar. When the program closes (Salir, Cancelar or the close box) its WST.exe icon stays, so you can start it again.
