Sketches of my game are out!

Let me first start with a negative note. I feel kinda lost with my forex trading. No doubt, yesterday I read the indicators and felt that the short term trend for G/U is to head south, supported by the daily stachostic crossing over and gap widening since 21st April. So I shorted the G/U twice at peaks to gain 30 pips each time.
The thing is...is this the right way to go? I have a mentor, Clarence, who revealed a basic system of setting up indicators and a host of readings to improve my forex trading...but I failed to use all that information...I am still doing alot of "experimentation - freestyle" on my own with no purpose other than to see if my "luck" is good enough to get me some winning trades...

After I confirm that the first "draft" of my game is pretty much done, I'll really go back to run the system and read those books. This isn't procrastination but focusing. (Although NOT spending enough time and effort on developing the game IS procrastination!)

But well, back to the game, I got my first sketch of what the game looks like now. The general flow of game is also determined. The next step is to design the cards and play the game myself to see if everything works fine. Then it would be back to school to see if I can work anything out with my previous econs tutors...

And if I spend enough time dreaming and nuturing big dreams...I might well be building an educational game to sell to MOE to employ in teaching macroeconomics. But that aside, my motivation is still to benefit my students (so that they can learn the same principles without hearing me repeat them verbally).

I realised, though, that I need to tweak the designing to have some sort of way to show the progress of the player. It is part of making the player feel good and to enhance competition. A physical representation that indicates progress would make it obvious how well one and other players are doing. That competition would then make the game more than just economics. But nevertheless a measure of economic understanding and luck would be required.

But well...I've still to work on the cards first...so here I go...
