Payment Orchestrator Simulator 🎮💰

A strategic minigame simulating payment orchestration dynamics where merchants balance investments in processors, routing, and SDK quality to maximize profit before time expires. Built with Svelte + TypeScript.

🕹️ Game Concept

Objective: Reach target profit within allotted time by optimizing:

• Payment Processors: Add/remove processors (Stripe, Adyen, etc.)
• Routing Strategies: Balance cost vs success rate
• SDK Experience: Improve developer integration quality
• Time Management: Race against the clock

Core Mechanics:

Investment → Affects → Transaction Success Rate → Impacts → Profit
