The Project

Application for the management of a virtual botanical garden, with related retail. In this activity, you will have the opportunity to plant various species of plants and accompany them in their individual growth.

The user will have at his disposal tools and products to cure them or to improve their development. Specimens that reach full growth can be moved to the store for display and possible retail sale. Plants that fail to reach this stage, due to disease or lack of care, will die and must be replaced with new ones.

Time in the application is organized into "working days" which end when the user has finished the work he has set out to do. To make the experience realistic, day after day, the plants will change their appearance depending on the care received. The plants displayed in the showcase will have a time limit to be sold, after which they will wither.

Commands

Tools

The tools are useful to take care of plants in the garden. You can use a hoe to plant seems in the soil, a watercan to water your specimens every day and a trowel to transplant them in a vase near the flowerbed. When the working day is over, you can go to the next day through the calendar on the shelf in the  laboratory. Once the plants are ready, you can move them in the shop to sell them to NPCs coming inside from the entrance. You can decide when to start the sale by interacting with the PC in the shop.

Illness

Some specimens can get ill so you need to take care of them by using specific medicines for a couple of days.
