Buildings
Players can spend the coins they earn within the PearUp software to buy buildings which will generate prestige, a resource that is showcased both to other players and on the leaderboard.
// Revenue and projects will not be present in the current MVP
// --> resources: prestige is used for leveling up. Ex: if you get 100 prestige you level up to level 2. You need 50 prestige to buy something, when you buy it you keep your prestige
// how to get prestige: per rounds. As soon as I finish an exercice, the round ends and I can go to the game, there my buildings will have generated their prestige for the round. Alternatively, when I finish 3 exercices and then open the game, my buildings will have generated prestige for 3 rounds (3 times more than 1 round)
Construction
To place a building, players need to:
- Tap on the buy button, which opens the window containing the buyable buildings
- Tap on a desired building, which closes the window
- Tap/drag and drop on an empty lot, which then shows a preview of the building and the area of effect, as well as the increased stats
- Tap on the green checkmark, which ultimately places down the building
Revenue and Prestige
// NOT IN MVP: Revenue is automatically generated by the building and depends on the amount of occupied slots.
Prestige is automatically generated by the building per round.
