can someone help me with a javascript game?

[iLostMyXbox21]

so i’m making a game where basically, you click the advance one week button, get a paycheck, and have to buy things (like a house, car, etc)

 

but it i can not figure out the buying portion. it does not take the money from the total. also, how can i make it to where it will not go in negatives?

i think i can see a problem already, you always show the result of week*857 no matter what happens with the value of var money?

basically the element "money" has no ties to the variable "money"

I'm not following.

The code i  the w3schools editor is working as intended. You get 858 $$$ every week. Is that not what you want?

[FlappyBoobs]

You are currently getting the total for the new week by multiplying the week number by the amount per week. This means that if I get $800 in week one and spend $800 then in week two your calculation will give me 2*800 rather than an extra 800 on top of my balance (leaving me with 800, not the 1600 I currently get).

 

Your "advance one week" button should just be adding the weekly amount to the balance that you have, and ignoring the week it is on. As for preventing negative numbers...that's trivial once you have a balance variable because you simply check that you have enough money in your balance to purchase the item you want, and you prevent it if you don't have enough, meaning it is impossible to ever get below 0.

Yeah as others have said, you need to have a balance Var, and add or subtract from that. The week you are on shouldn't matter - the weekly amount should just be added on to your current balance.

Simply add a new variable to track the money and then use that to update the UI.
