This game is still a work in progress —————————How do I play??———————— Okay, so, Oregon Trail is like, super fun! You get to pick your job, like farmer or banker (banker's easiest, trust me). Then you gotta buy stuff! Like, tons of food, 'cause you don't wanna starve. And oxen, duh, to pull your wagon. Don't forget clothes, 'cause it gets cold, and medicine, 'cause like, everyone gets sick. You gotta be careful 'cause you can get dysentery, which is gross. And you cross rivers and hunt for food, and sometimes your wagon breaks. It's like, a really long road trip, but way more dangerous! —————————Using the game————————— Ok, now you have an introduction to the game. Next, you may be asking, how do I use it? First, you are greeted with a menu. The first step is to visit the store, to buy supplies for your trip. You can do so easily by typing in “5” when it asks you what is your choice. Great! Now you are in the store. The first thing I want to point out is you have a certain amount of money. For now, you start out at 1000 dollars. Now, let’s get started! Click the “Buy” button and type in the product type that you want to buy. For now, we will type in “Food” as an example. Food is the cheapest thing to buy, at only costing $5. The next thing it will ask you is just exactly HOW much food you want to buy. Let’s keep things simple by buying 1 pound of food. That’s great! You have bought your first supply. Now, buy supplies wisely. You need to keep some money for your trip (you will see why later), and at the same time, you need to buy enough supplies to last you the trip. Great! Now, you see the little “X” button by the “Buy” button? Click that, and you are out of the store! There is other options in the start menu, but I’m not going to mention those today. Great! Type in “1” and off you go on your journey! You can see your stats in the top left corner of the screen. I’ll leave the rest up to you on how you want to play the game, now that I’ve said the basics. (Plus, I don’t want to spoil anything) ————————Keyboard Shortcuts———————— Press “0” when in a start screen menu to go back That’s all =:)
