22.50

Right. For some reason I was doing it the hard way.

(20+25)/2 = 45/2 = 22.5
or
(25-20)/2 + 20 = 5/2 + 20 = 22.5
I didn't know it had to do with averaging.

May 1st? I thought you said you weren't going to make a day for it to come out!

Edit: And what is with the $29? That's kind of random!

Since you already paid for it, you will get it cheaper. Smiley
And remember how much normal games cost. I'd say this program is on the level of professional games.

Ya, I really think this game isn't worth $30, and I'm not trying to give any ideas, but US is probably worth a good $60 or $70, based on other simulator's prices that are similar.

After much debate we're feeling pretty good about $29.

This makes it affordable for more people.

PS2: 49.99
PS3: 59.99
Sims 3: 69.99
Most computer games: 49.99
XBox 360: 59.99
Most science simulators that are good and work: $50-200

Perhaps it's just wishful optimism. Please be sensitive.

That would be 67.68 USD, and that is too much.

Not that I'm sayings it's not worth that much.

Just a lot of teens and younger people get turned off by high prices.

Well done, Dan Dixon. You have surely made an improvement in this simulator, as well as some errors, but you have made a good program.
