| Game
Description |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The game
consists of 4 screens.
The MAIN SCREEN is where you plant, grow, water, and cross-pollinate
plants. You will also price them here and mark them for sale. The
other 3 screens are accessible by the 3 NAV BUTTONS in the top-left.
When you enter each screen for the first time, tips will appear
for that screen. The screens are:the SEED MANAGER (for organizing
and storing seeds); the SHOP (for buying gardening supplies and
chemicals); and the NURSERY (where you will sell some of your creations). |

|
|
|
|
|

|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
| PREPARE
SOIL |
|
Drag some
soil from the TOOL TRAY (in the top-right of the screen) to an empty
pot and release it. |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| WATER
SOIL |
|
Drag the
watering can from the TOOL TRAY to the same pot and release it.
Now you have a pot with soft moist soil in it. |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
| PLANT
SEED |
|
Drag a seed
from the SEED TRAY (in the top-right under the tool tray) into the
same pot. If you select the plant (by clicking on it) its details
will show up on the right: you can monitor its health, age, water
and maturity. You can cross-pollinate it or gather new seeds from
it. |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
REAL TIME ! |
|
Now it will
take time for this plant to grow.
NOTE:
Remember that in Plant Tycoon, plants will grow whether you
are in the game or not-- or even when your Pocket PC device is turned
off!
You should see a SPROUT within about 10 minutes. |
|
 |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| POLLINATE |
|
Once one
of your plants is fully grown and mature you can pollinate this
plant either with itself (POLLINATION) or with another mature plant
(CROSS-POLLINATION). Click on the mature plant and you will see
that its pollen button (in the bottom-right) is active. Draw pollen
from that button to any mature plant, or to itself. |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| HARVEST
SEEDS |
|
In a short
time seeds will appear in its seed button. You can drag these seeds
directly to a pot with watered soil or to your SEED TRAY (in the
top-right of the screen). You can also drag them to the SEED MANAGER
NAV BUTTON if there is enough room in the seed boxes. |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| SELL
PLANTS |
|
To get ready
to sell a plant click on the PRICE button .The price that appears
when a plant is created is your 'best guess' of
its value. When you set the price, all you have to do is go to the
NURSERY screen and watch if people buy the plant. If nobody buys
it it's probably priced too high. If it goes instantly..well you
could have gotten more for it. Remember to check the 'For Sale'
box if you are really ready to sell it. |

The Seed
Manager
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| This is a
place for organizing and storing seeds that you have purchased or
harvested. Click on any seed to see pictures of its parents.
This will help you to be organized and remember which combinations
are creating certain seeds. It is important to be well-organized
if you ever hope to solve the genetic riddle which is the key to
the Magic Plants. |

The Shop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| This is the
garden supply shop where you can buy supplies, seeds and experimental
chemicals for creating and maintaining new breeds of plants.
Click on an item to find out more about it and click on "BUY'
to buy something. When you upgrade your soil or water it
is permanently upgraded and never runs out; when you buy seeds they
go to your SEED TRAY (up there in the top-right corner), so there
must be space available there; when you buy plant food or special
chemicals they always go to slot 3 and 4 in your tool tray, respectively.
If there is already a tool there, it will be replaced. |

The Nursery
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| Here you can
watch visitors as they browse your plants for sale. If someone buys
a plant you will see a "SOLD" sign appear, and your money
will increase. If things aren't selling very well, you can either
go back to the main screen and lower the price, or increase the
number of visitors to your nursery (one way is to buy a decorative
fountain). Note that sales of your plants will only occur
when you are personally supervising the nursery. |
