We’re live with our second install

Published by DragonChi December 7th, 2007 in Main

StocksOnline has implemented our second runtime installation. The Social Networking site Jitterfingers is running our engine as the core for their Star Sizzle Meter popularity game, where members can vote for their popular stars and celebrities.

We’ve been working on this since August, and it has been a long time coming, but now it’s live and we can announce it. As this is a dynamic modification of the Engine we are able to better showcase the capabilities of our stock market engine in being adaptable to many different concepts.

This is a means to an end. Designing and implementing a discrete version of the engine that is set up to allow for strict voting and a weighted voting scale rather than a dollar value for each entry was a challenge - especially as we wanted to change as little about the engine as possible. We made it work, and it works well.

    Hello,

    Please play this free to use stock market game. Called Stock Market 60.

    It is a flash game and allows players to play a make believe market or past historic markets.

    Thanks and enjoy,
    David

    Not a bad little flash simulator. I like it, and heartily approve of it :)
