Licence items and the icons that go with them

A licence is bought as an item, listed in a tab of its own with an indicator for a purchase.

In Supermarket Simulator a licence is an item you buy rather than a setting you turn on: the game lists licences in their own tab, keeps unlocked and active licences apart, and ships its own icon sheets for them.

In play

A licence in this shop is bought as an item rather than switched on in a menu. The game has a licence item, a tab that lists licences, and an indicator that shows one has already been bought.

The licence tab has a layout of its own. There is a configuration for that layout, so the list of licences is built by the game rather than being a picture with numbers painted on it.

Products are tied to licences through their own records. A product carries a licence of its own and there is separate data describing what a licence unlocks, which is how one purchase can open a group of goods at once.

Unlocked and active are not the same list. The game keeps the licences that are unlocked apart from the ones currently active, and a set of licence numbers can be disabled, which is how a shop can hold a licence without its goods being on sale.

Buying a licence is checked before it is granted. There is a store-side handle and a result the game examines, along with add-on licences that arrive with something else, so a licence is not simply added the moment money is spent.

Each licence has an icon, and the icons are kept on sheets rather than one picture per file. The two sheets beside this entry are the game's own: a set of grocery product icons and the sheet it uses for fruit and vegetables.

What this entry does not tell you: what any licence costs, what each one unlocks, or the order in which they become available. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
