Space Traders
is a text-based game I developed in Java. I made this program for an AP Computer Science class back in high school. Although it was never finished, I release the source code under the GPL license in hopes that someone would find some use for it and possibly finish what I've started. If you are interested in learning Java it is a great example of object oriented programming.

The main objective is to get out of debt and make as much money as you possibly can. You start off on your home planet with the option of buying or selling goods like gold or water. You buy as much as you can hold (100 units is what you start off with) and travel to another planet it to sell it for more then you bought it for. Same concept in the business world: "Buy low, sell high." When you have enough money, be sure to pay off your debt. The bank compounds the interest every planet you jump too.
