End of Day Display

End of Day Display by Team 8

Description

The end of day screen is to provide players with a comprehensive overview of their day’s performance as well as prompt a moral decision (that will affect future gameplay). This screen provides key metrics such as the current time of the system, amount of money gained or lost, number of orders fulfilled and unfulfilled. The summary is designed to encourage players to analyse their gameplay, helping them understand how efficiently they can manage orders and customer interactions, as well as make a moral decision that will either aid or hinder the gameplay experience.

EndDayDisplay

The EndDayDisplay class is intended to display to the player their end of day summary in which a moral decision will also be made. The objective of this task is to stop the player from moving and display a screen once 'p' is pressed. This task extends UIComponent.
