Chapter 2: Choose a Path
You open the red door and step into the arcade with low lighting except for the blaring screens. You rub your eyes to adjust, then see 3 machines with your name on them that are blue, green and red. Then you notice Zooko the arcade owner and wave hello. There are some snacks and drinks for sale by a break table, posters on the wall about past and future events, and a game quarter <> crypto exchange machine. You notice some new rare trading cards and consoles inside the glass case for sale, and a number of other odds n' ends. A retro Space Invaders machine is in the other corner which is always there. Since it's so close to home, you've dropped in here to play this with your friends a bunch of times, so your parents setting up games just for you has been really exciting.
Zooko: "Hey again, Rye-O! Today is another big day! You ready to choose a path? The first machine takes 1 game quarter, the second takes 2, and the 3rd takes 3. Do you have enough or do you want to buy more?"
You: "My mother gave me 0.15 ETH to play all of them..."
Zooko: "Well that's good! I lost some loose change once. And haven't seen them cents!"
You: "Haha, what? You and my step-father should have a 'dad-jokes' competition and I'll be the judge."
Zooko: "Okay Rye-O, well here's the machine, so stock up: https://app.manifold.xyz/c/game-quarters. We are open until 5 o' clock. And remember - time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
