Simconomics Economic Simulation

A simulation inspired by Warren Buffets story about Thriftville vs Squanderville. Written in Unity, the idea is to trace the flow of money as it enters and leaves a community/city. The question it tries to answer is, Does the number of times money changes hands in a community before leaving it indicate the economic health of that community? Everyone assumes the 'Buying Local' matters to a healthy local economy, this simulation allows people to play with the flow and find out for themselves.
