crowdfund_tr

A simple, text-based crowdfunding simulator. Run a group of projects through a series of funding rounds, in which they either receive or lose funds, or are skipped. They also receive a random pledge. Grant projects never lose funds. Match projects have all future funding matched after they reach half-funding. Statistics are printed to the console at the end of the simulation. The normal projects can be specified in a '.csv' file that is given as a command line argument when loading the program, or the default projects can be used. The format for 'csv' entries is Project Name,Goal,Initial_funding with a comma and no spaces between entries and underscores in place of commas within larger numbers (e.g. Your Project,10_000,0). The option is given to save a list of underfunded projects upon exiting the program. The list is saved in 'underfunded.txt' in the top-level folder of the application. Created as a bonus project while completing the Pragmatic Studio Ruby Programming course.
