I made a game based on Bitcoins that uses the same ideas the that silly Android game Cookie Clickers uses and then added a few things like a marketplace to you can take the earned Bitcoins in game and exchange them for some USD and actually invest in game as you would real life. In this game you are running a Bitcoin mining farm and you select what miners you use, you have to pay attention to electricity used, overclocking machines is an option, invalid shares may occur from overclocking. I basically made a very realistic game based on Bitcoin mining, difficulty is even simulated in the game. I also think if I were to put an ad at the beginning of the game or on the webpage I put the game out, I might even make it so people can turn their in-game currency into real cash (through some made-up exchange rate I come up with). I thought it was an interesting idea. If anyone is into the idea please say so. I plan to put up pics of the game if enough people say they like it.

I will post pictures now that I know this game is wanted! and yes I will have educational value behind it and yes I do plan on perhaps having some cash reward behind the game. The only issue with me posting a picture right now is that my artwork is so bad that the game looks awful even though the gameplay is perfect. If anyone wants to help with artwork I will be very much pleased!

Alright guys I started making an interface (the game was just a console game for a while with a black window with some text and then I made a really crappy interface and now I'm redoing it). Here is a quick picture of what its started to look like after my last hour of trying to make a somewhat pretty interface for the game. Tell me what you think. Go ahead and ask questions if needed. http://i.gyazo.com/7e5491e9b55e985f20a25dec7615a055.pngIf you look here at the picture you can see the different miners you can buy (as of right now, more will be added soon). Also by hovering over one of them you get a little detail box shown below.

As I mentioned above that I am a terrible artist. I need some help honestly. And you play against others online. You want to have the biggest machine running and the most BTC per second coming in compared to everyone else. Basically like a simulation game of sorts.

Thank you very much! I just really need someone with an artistic ability to help me out a little bit. Anyone on this forum willing to help would make my day if they did.

Well in my opinion, if you look at the sucess of the TV Series "Gold Rush" it would grow much faster, if you could simulate a "Gold Rush" scenario.
If someone can create a game, like "Sim Farm" where players can mine for "Gold Bitcoins" or "Satoshi's" it would be a instant hit.
There is a need, and I will most deffenitely pay for such a game.
And if the game, pays me for playing, I will spent a whole lot of time on it.
But people need "animation" "GUI" not flat interface, database nonsense.
I enjoy all Simulator type games anyways. {Do you still remember the first "Sim Ant and Sim Farm etc" games?
Good luck, hope you create something stunning.

I voted yes for the game and think it's a cool idea... but how does this tie into real earnings? There was a similar site before named VirtualMiner that didn't catch on but that was because the owner never really did anything; the site was set up and left dormant.
I'm curious as to how one earns money through your game though.
