This is a trading game engine written in Erlang as an educational tool, to help introduce a concrete implementation of standard Erlang idioms and concepts.

Prerequisites

You will need the following to play around with this project:

• Erlang (See Erlang Solutions for Mac OS X, Windows and most popular Linux binaries)
• GNU make

Compiling

$ git clone https://github.com/mrallen1/parque
$ cd parque
$ make all

Start REPL

$ erl -pa ebin -s parque

Create a player process

1> {ok, PlayerPid} = parque:create_player('SomeName').

Create ports

2> Ports = ['Havana', 'Cozumel', 'Kingston'].
3> [ parque:create_port(X) || X <- Ports ].

List goods at ports

To get a listing of the goods, quantities and prices available at each port, use this:

4> [ parque_port:list(X) || X <- Ports ].

The output is formatted in a list of tuples of [{GoodName, {QuantityAvailable, CurrentPrice}}]
