Money as an object in the shop

The game has a pack of money as an object of its own.

In Supermarket Simulator money is a thing the game builds and keeps an eye on as well as a number: there is a pack of money, something that produces money objects, a manager that holds the count, a text readout for an amount and a limit on what can be typed into a money box.

In play

Money is an object as well as a number. The game has a pack of money of its own, so cash can exist in the shop as something rather than only as a figure in a menu.

Something produces it. There is a part of the game whose job is producing money objects, which is why what you pick up is a thing in the shop and not only a change to a count.

The count is kept by a manager. One part holds the shop's money, and there is a networked version of that manager for a shared shop, so the two cases are handled by the same idea rather than by two different ones.

Amounts are shown as text of their own. There is a text readout for money, which is how a figure can be displayed beside the money itself rather than being the money.

What you can type is limited. There is a part that restricts what goes into a money box, so an amount cannot be any string at all, which is what keeps a typed price or payment inside the game's own idea of a number.

Money in the room is noticed rather than invisible. The game keeps a listener for money objects in the room, so cash on the floor is something the game is aware of.

The picture beside this entry is the game's own: a picture of a dollar note that the build ships among its money pictures.

What this entry does not tell you: how much a pack of money holds, how quickly the game produces money, or what happens if you type a very large amount. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
