FarmValue is a simple calculator for Facebook's FARMVILLE:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=102452128776
image1tx.jpg


It calculates the best crop for you to plant, by simply:
- Write down the number of hours or days of your next visit.
- It then shows you the best 3 crops for you to plant.
- When you press the one you choose, it asks you for you plantation size.
- It then calculates how much you are going to receive if you plant the hole field minus the plowing costs.

The data.txt on the side, helps for future updates, it uses this simple rule:
- Crops are separated by hours or days to harvest.
- The first value on the arrays is the name of the crop, then the market cost, then the sell price and finally the time it takes to grow.
- And finally the cost it takes to plow, in case they ever change it.

Needs Flash 7 to run!
Press ENTER anytime on the keypad to exit the app.

New version 1.1:
-------------------

- Fixed a bug that was messing up the re-ordering of days...
- Added ability to jump between hours and day when obvious.
- Simplyfied the txt database (just crop data now)


To do:
----------

- Add your XP points to make sure you can plant that.
- Better graphics.
- Fullscreen

Thats pretty much it.
Enjoy.
:)

Didnt knew it, but I had the ideia at first of saying that based on the phone current time and even adding a Windows Mobile task alarm to remind the user of that, but that just seemed too hardcore. hehehe

aw give me a break, how much more hardcore could someone possibly get? lol If you are already in this, there's no getting cold feet now! lol

I think that's a pretty neat idea actually... Maybe just put it as an option? Having a small reminder would be nice.

Ok, I'll take some time on the weekend to see if this is duable, I think I can add it as a registry alarm or appointment, I just dont know how yet.

Magicalan, I was lucky enough to start with flash 4, by far the easiest version ever, and just got the hang of it.

I really just followed the inside tutorials and used a lot of examples out there to learn step by step, copy/paste can be a good learning tool. ;)

I cant say much about math, I was terrible at school and never did finished it properly. :rolleyes:

is it possible to add an alarm for the mobile version?
example: i choose 1 day for the revisit and then have the app exit, but add a notification queue on my phone and it notifies me after a day that i have to harvest the plant :)
