Marketplace

The marketplace system in FarmyAPI allows players to buy and sell items with each other, creating a dynamic in-game economy

How It Works

1. Listing Items: Players can list items for sale using the !market list <item_name> <price> command. This removes the item from their inventory and adds it to the marketplace database.

2. Buying Items: Players can purchase items from the marketplace using the !market buy <item_id> command. This deducts the specified amount of gold from their balance and adds the item to their inventory.

3. Viewing Listings: Players can view current listings and prices using the !market view <item_name> command or see the latest items with the !market latest command.

4. Notifications: Both buyers and sellers receive notifications about successful transactions.

Website Integration

The marketplace system is also integrated with a website that displays all current listings. Players can visit the marketplace page to browse items by category, view prices, and see seller information.

Purpose

• Economy: Facilitates trade between players, allowing them to buy and sell items they need or no longer want.

• Engagement: Keeps players engaged by providing a platform for trading and earning gold.

• Transparency: The website provides a transparent view of all marketplace listings, making it easy for players to find and compare items.

Outcome

• Transactions: Successful transactions result in the transfer of items and gold between players.

• Market Dynamics: Prices and availability of items fluctuate based on player activity, creating a dynamic and responsive in-game economy.
