Weekday Stay at Home Simulator

Description

Weekday Stay at Home Simulator is a play on the North American television show The Price is Right.

Why? Because The Price is Right airs just before lunchtime during weekdays and the only time you could catch it is if you recorded it via VHS or if you played hooky from school. You didn't watch it during the summer, because you were playing outside.

So, this is my nostalgic fever dream remembrance of what it was like to skip school when you felt ill.

Instructions:

There are two minigames, Plinko, and then Showcase Showdown (Spin the Wheel!). You must survive Showcase Showdown to be able to win the game.

Plinko

• You have 5 chips to drop. 
• Click somewhere in the area marked with "Drop Piece Here". 
• You may only drop one piece at a time.
• Once all pieces have been collected in a point bucket, you will be greeted with a screen to continue to the next minigame.

Showcase Showdown

• You have up to 2 spins to get a higher score than the other players (who have already spun before you).
• Your scores accumulate.
• Do not surpass 100.
• To spin, click and drag on the wheel. Release the mouse button to have your mouse velocity applied to the wheel. The wheel cannot be touched while spinning.

To win:

• You must have the highest cumulative wheel score in Showcase Showdown without surpassing 100.

Monetary Highscores:

• If you've successfully won Showcase Showdown, your monetary value is your score. 
• Please share in the comments a screenshot for bragging purposes.
• Max high score is $50,000.

Known Bugs

• reset button doesn't work (F5 in browser or close/reopen app)
