Millions

A JavaFX-based stock trading game developed as an exam project for the course IDATT2003 – Programming 2 at NTNU, spring 2026.

The project is made by Group 40.

About the project

Millions is a single-player simulation game with a simple goal: earn as much money as possible. The player starts with a given amount of capital and a stock exchange (Exchange) full of stocks (Stock) with varying "fortune" a value that afects how much the stock price fluctuates from week to week. Time in the game is measured in weeks, and each week the market changes, creating new buying and selling opportunities.

The game combines a realistic portfolio and transaction model with more playful elements like minigames and dashboards, making it both a technical programming exercise and something that is actually fun to play.

What you can do in the game

Create a new game – choose player name, starting capital, and which exchange to trade on.
Buy and sell stocks on the exchange through a market overview (MarketView).
Track your portfolio on a dashboard with graphs over net worth, cash, and stock holdings over time.
Play minigames tied to a chosen stock to influence the outcome:
- Clicker – click targets for points
- Find Stock – find the correct stock among several alternatives
- Time Inputs – time-based key preses
View transaction history week by week in a dedicated archive (TransactionArchive).
Save and load games – the entire game state (player, exchange, week, portfolio, transactions) can be saved to file and loaded again later.
Adjust settings – theme (light/dark via ThemeManager) and other preferences, both from the main menu and within an active game.
Quit safely – a dedicated quit dialog lets the player save before exiting.

Architecture

The application is built around MVC (Model–View–Controller) combined with a publish–subscribe pattern for events:

model/ – domain classes: Player, Exchange, Stock, Portfolio, Share, Transaction, SaveGame, and others. All business logic for buying/selling, price changes, and portfolio management lives here.
view/ – JavaFX views organized per screen (mainmenu, settings, creategame, playgame, ingame) and per widget (dashboard, market, transactions, stats, minigames, topbar, financialsummary).
controller/ – connects views to the model and translates user input into operations on the model.
service/ – service layer for heavier operations: SaveGameService, GameStateLoader, StockFileManager/StockFileParser, calculators for purchases and sales, and the event system under service/event/.
utils/ – helpers such as Validator, ThemeManager, and ConfigValues.

EventManager together with the EventType enum is used to publish events (scene changes, loading of save files, updating the transaction list, etc.) so that views and controllers do not need direct dependencies on each other.

Technologies

Java 25
JavaFX 25.0.1 for the GUI
Maven as the build system
JUnit Jupiter 6.0.1 for unit tests
TestFX 4.0.18 for JavaFX tests
JaCoCo for test coverage reports
GitHub Actions for CI (tests on push, build on release)

Building and running

Prerequisites: JDK 25 and Maven installed. For running tests, jacoco may need to be installed.

# Run the application
mvn javafx:run

# Run tests
mvn test (Jacoco may be required)

# Generate a runnable JAR (ends up in target/ as …-shaded.jar)
mvn package

# Generate Javadoc
mvn javadoc:javadoc

Main class: edu.ntnu.idi.idatt2003.g40.mappe.Launcher.
