Even though I've never used JavaScript before, this is great! I spent some time trying to figure it out since I really like the idea, but I ended up getting stumped since I was unable to figure out how to output to the console. Specifically, I was trying to output the available market items so I could see what types of seeds were available for purchase (I was sick of oranges). In my efforts, I put print() in the update(drone) method, which was a funny experience for sure. Even though I made little progress, it was fun to try things like setting drone.inventory.money to billions of dollars.

I want to come back to this in the future when I have more time to learn and write all the job methods from scratch to see how optimal of a farm I can have. I also think that leaderboards (perhaps dollars per second) would be perfect. Well done :]

You do that with:

console.log(obj)
console.warn(3456)
console.error('qwer')

It will output in your browser console (not in-game console). There are some commented out debug console.log's in the starter code.

so I could see what types of seeds were available for purchase

Oh ... it's actually my oversight not to mention available items. I'll update the docs.

I had to make a special "view-component" for every component of the drone. I think the system should be safe, but I am not entirely sure as I was rushing.

Leaderboard would be cool, but quite low on a priority list. A few top priority things would be:

  • Camera component
  • Plants spreading onto nearby tiles
  • Tutorial, story, progression
  • Several drones
  • Upgrades
  • More UI
  • TypeScript
  • etc.

Oh, I had to cut so much!

Thanks for putting in the effort and I'm glad you had fun. Have you made any screenshots of your game?
