The Issue

The simulation doesn't record the number of days passed.

The Solution

Create a variable in the simulation class called 'days'. Increment 'days' every time the simulation processes a day. Final display the value on the main menu.

Example

find the simulation class, look for this: 

    class Simulation
    {
        private static Random rnd = new Random();
        protected Settlement simulationSettlement;
        protected int noOfCompanies;
        protected double fuelCostPerUnit, baseCostForDelivery;
        protected List<Company> companies = new List<Company>();

Now add a new variable: 

        public int days=0;

Now find the 'ProcessDayEnd' method in the simulation class. In the method you will see the final two lines of code is: 

            DisplayCompaniesAtDayEnd();
            DisplayEventsAtDayEnd();


Before these two lines add: 

            days++;
            Console.WriteLine("Days Passed: " + days);

You could also write this in the main menu, find the 'DisplayMenu' method in the simulation class: 

Edit it to also do these 'Console.WriteLine' commands first:

<syntaxhighlight lang=csharp>
            Console.WriteLine("\n*********************************");
            Console.WriteLine("Days Passed: " + days);
            Console.WriteLine("\n*********************************");
