I enter the numbers (scores) by hand, as there is no
official api to get at the in game data.
The predictions and plots are done by my cgi.

You can use actual cash to buy stones, or you can do
certain tasks in the game to get one stone at at time..
I do the latter.

Unless there is something significant (and "real") that I want,
I won't use real money for virtual cards or data.

By the way, the Venus Project PS Vita game had a campaign where
you got a real present for doing something in the game.
The present was a cheki (polaroid photo) taken with the
seiyuu at an event.

Also one of the current presents in the Venus Project smartphone game
is a downloadable radio show.
