Deliverables

The ability to take user input
The ability for the user to earn money
The ability to buy tools and use the new tool
The ability to win the game and end it
- Hint: Try setting the win amount to $10 first, then $50, and etc. until you get to the end to allow for easier testing!

Technical Requirements

Your landscaper game must run on first load with no syntax errors
If there are errors you can't solve, comment them out and leave a comment above it explaining what is wrong

Hungry for More?

Add the ability to reset the game at any point so that you can play again
Make it so that a user can have multiple tools, and money earned each day is increased appropriately (e.g. 2 scissors, and an old-timey push lawnmower means you earn $60/day )
Once you've implemented multiple tools, make it so you can sell tools for half price
