市场交易系统

Market Trading System

市场做市系统:Market Entity (Trader ID 22) 作为中央市场,所有与之的交易会基于供需关系影响商品价格。

Changes Made

1. MarketManager

gdt/scripts/core/managers/market_manager.gd

New Variables

# Market demand tracking (in memory)
var _market_demand: Dictionary = {}  # commodity_id -> {buy_volume, sell_volume, net_demand, last_update}
var _demand_decay_rate: float = 0.95  # 5% decay per tick
var _price_sensitivity: float = 0.0015  # Price response to demand
var _max_price_change_per_tick: float = 0.05  # Max 5% change per tick
var _demand_smoothing: float = 0.3  # Demand smoothing factor

New Methods

  • record_market_trade(commodity_id, quantity, is_buy) - Records trades to track demand
  • get_market_demand(commodity_id) - Returns current demand data
  • set_market_parameters(params) - Adjust market behavior
  • get_market_parameters() - Get current settings
  • debug_print_market_demand() - Debug output for market state
  • _decay_all_demands() - Natural decay of demand over time
  • _calculate_demand_price_impact(commodity_id, current_price) - Calculate price impact

Modified Methods

  • _generate_next_point() - Now incorporates demand impact in price calculation
  • _tick_all_tradeable() - Calls demand decay before generating prices

2. TradeManager

gdt/scripts/trade/trade_manager.gd

New Constants

const MARKET_ENTITY_ID = 22  # Market entity's trader_id

New Variables

var market_manager: MarketManager  # Reference to market manager

Modified Methods

  • _ready() - Now connects to MarketManager
  • execute_transfer_transaction() - Detects and records market trades
  • print_debug_info() - Now shows MarketManager connection status

New Methods

  • test_market_price_response() - Comprehensive test of market system

How It Works

Trade Detection

# When a transfer happens
execute_transfer_transaction(...)
    ↓
# Check if market entity involved
if from_holder_id == 22 OR to_holder_id == 22:
    ↓
# Record to MarketManager
market_manager.record_market_trade(commodity_id, quantity, is_buy)

Price Adjustment

# On each price tick (_tick_all_tradeable)
1. Decay all demands by decay_rate
2. For each commodity:
   a. Calculate random volatility
   b. Calculate trend change
   c. Calculate demand impact = net_demand × sensitivity × current_price
   d. Apply all changes to price
   e. Clamp to max_price_change_per_tick

Demand Flow

Player buys 100 iron ore from market
    ↓
TradeManager.execute_transfer()
    ↓
MarketManager.record_market_trade(3, 100.0, true)
    ↓
_market_demand[3].buy_volume += 100
_market_demand[3].net_demand = (buy_volume - sell_volume) × smoothing
    ↓
Next price tick:
demand_impact = net_demand × 0.0015 × current_price
new_price = current_price + random + trend + demand_impact
    ↓
Price increases due to buy pressure
    ↓
Over time, demand decays at 5% per tick

Testing

Using the Test Function

# In console or through script
var trade_manager = get_node("/root/GlobalData/TradeManager")
trade_manager.test_market_price_response()

Manual Testing

# Get managers
var trade_manager = get_node("/root/GlobalData/TradeManager")
var market_manager = get_node("/root/GlobalData/MarketManager")

# Execute some trades with market
trade_manager.execute_transfer(
    3,                    # Iron ore
    22, "trader",        # From market
    1, "trader",         # To player
    50.0,                # Quantity
    "player_bag"
)

# Check demand
market_manager.debug_print_market_demand()

# Watch prices change on trading chart

UI Compatibility

No changes needed to UI! The trading chart automatically displays updated prices because:
  1. MarketManager updates commodity.current_value in memory
  2. Trading chart reads from selected_commodity.current_value (line 362)
  3. Prices update automatically through existing price_series_updated signal

Market Parameters

Default values were chosen for balanced gameplay:

Parameter Value Effect
demand_decay_rate 0.95 Demand halves every ~14 ticks
price_sensitivity 0.0015 100 units net demand = 0.15% price change
max_price_change_per_tick 0.05 Prevents >5% jumps per tick
demand_smoothing 0.3 Responsive but not jittery

More Volatile Markets

market_manager.set_market_parameters({
    "price_sensitivity": 0.005,  # 3x more sensitive
    "max_price_change_per_tick": 0.10,  # Allow 10% swings
    "demand_decay_rate": 0.90  # Faster decay
})

More Stable Markets

market_manager.set_market_parameters({
    "price_sensitivity": 0.0005,  # Less sensitive
    "max_price_change_per_tick": 0.02,  # Only 2% max change
    "demand_decay_rate": 0.98  # Slower decay
})

Performance

  • All market data in memory (no SQL writes)
  • Demand tracking adds minimal overhead (~O(n) where n = active commodities)
  • Price calculation happens once per tick per commodity
  • No performance impact on UI rendering

Future Enhancements

Ready for:

  1. AI Trader Integration - AI traders can trade with market, prices respond
  2. Multiple Markets - Create regional markets with different prices
  3. Order Books - Add bid/ask spreads for more realism
  4. Market Events - Random events affecting specific commodities
  5. Historical Persistence - Save demand/price history to database
