I wish to make a 50,000 Dollar loan. (I hope with them ore loans I pay, the less interest due to high credit score or something?)
I use 5000 to hire a cheap scientise, and the 50k loan to buy a Complex.

(How much will it cost to make GR (Gigas Rifle) I, GR II, or the 55XTD?

I will decide to invent a line scheme of Flash code called FindBot that helps Flash game creators find bugs in their code.

In a malfunctioning game, the programmer specifies what their intended result is, then FindBot searches their game data until it finds the line of malfunctioning code.

It then points out the code to the programmer so they can fix it. Easy bug fixer!

(Is that okay/logical/acceptable?)

That's fine, but you have to sell in a box that would have a disc, instructions. etc. because just selling the file online isn't the way you sell stuff in this game.

My 55XTD Rifle should be done.
I try to offer the gun to the millitary for 100$ a piece. if they accept, I manufacture 100 (8000$ I think) and sell them to the millitary!

(Okay, good, I was hoping to make it a program.)

I will sell FindBot (a program, not a Flash code) in a small disc box with a small instruction page. The disc has the program on it; the user can install FindBot directly from the disc.

Do I set a price/what do I do now?

The military say they wants 1000 55XTDs and if they work out well they will buy more. People buy all the rifles, (you add the money) but no one wants to buy gigas rifle I anymore, so if you make more no one will buy them.
