The original game, see this link for the game with updates: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/785572678 IMPORTANT: -NO mobile support! -Progress DOESN'T save! What is this game?: This game is about helping people in need by donating to charities. You run a lemonade stand, and 75% of profits go to said charities. *You can choose to donate to Homelessness Helpers, the local Food Bank, or United Health Helpers with your Donation Money. Gameplay Guide: When you first press start, you will be on the map. You can access the map at any point by pressing the "m" button on your keyboard. Go to the park (Lemonade stand symbol) . You will see a lemonade stand, with an empty pitcher. To fill up the pitcher, you must have 1 bucket of water, 4 lemons, and 1 bag of sugar. Read the guide below to get the following items and make lemonade. When you have lemonade, customers will come. Click on them once they have finished asking for lemonade. This will give them 1 cup of lemonade, and $1.00. Donating your money (see guide below on how to) can give you boosts once you have donated so much money (you can see how much you have donated to a company when in their store). You can also get upgrades in the shop with your regular money. Have fun playing this game! :) Lemons: -To get to lemon tree, press left arrow at lemonade stand. -To get back to lemonade stand, press right arrow. -There is a two-second cooldown for the lemon tree. -Clicking on a lemon tree gives you 1 lemon. -4 lemons are needed for one pitcher of lemonade. Water: -A water tap can be found in the store. -You can only have enough water for one lemonade pitcher at a time. -It takes three seconds for the water bowl to fill up. Sugar: -Can be bought from the store by the bag. -One bag of sugar is 50 cents. -One bag of sugar is required per batch. Lemonade/Lemon Pitcher: -Click on the pitcher when at the lemonade stand to make lemonade. -Must have required ingredients (**4 lemons, 1 bag of sugar, and one bucket of water) -Serves 4 Customers -Only works when you don't have any lemonade in the pitcher. -Each lemonade sells for $1.00. -75 cents goes to donation money, but 25 cents goes to profits. You can donate by going to each organization store and pressing on the tip jar. You can only donate in increments of $1.00 at the time of making this project. Every time you go to a charity building, you will get a pop-up fact about poverty. To get out of it, press the X button on your keyboard. Each organization has different bonuses you get: -At the Food Bank, every 50 dollars you donate means one more lemonade cup is made when you make lemonade. -Caps at 8 cups of lemonade, or $200. -At United Health Helpers, you can get more profits from your lemonade: -At 50 and 100 dollars you get a total 25 cent increase in profits each. -At 150, 200, and 300 dollars donated you get 2, 3, and 4 dollars total for profits. -At Homelessness Helpers, you get "Popularity Boosts": -This means that you have less wait time for money to be made from your lemonade stand. -Goes in a pattern of 20,50,100 dollars spent and -0.25, -0.25, -0.5 seconds of wait time decreased. -Goes up to 200 dollars.

[2/3/2025 EDIT]: I'm worried the wrong takeaway could be found from this game, so I'm clarifying: Donating doesn't give anything, and you shouldn't give just based off of what someone else or a charity has for you! You should give to help people, not yourself (although it does feel good!) --- Like Anti Covid-19 Wizard, this project was also made for science fair. This is about educating about poverty, in particular the Sustainable Development Goal "No Poverty". The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 goals created by the United Nations to help provide equity to all and save the environment. They were started in 2015/2016 and are meant to be achieved by 2030. Look it up if you want to know more! :) https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/ (Link to the SDG website) *These charities are made up for the purpose of gameplay. **Recipe may not actually work in real life. ***Uses the USD currency.
