***********************************************************************
A. RULES
***********************************************************************

You get 3 different difficulty levels for this game:

1.	Design Protégé
2.	Top Designer
3.	Design Guru

The basic rules of the game can be found in the tutorial stage of the 
game.

(a)	Your customer satisfaction meter must reach the dotted line.
(b)	You must meet your item quota.
(c)	Drag coffee over the workers, Brian, Garan & Liz, to re-energize 
(d)	their meters.
(e)	Place items so that you can get the “thumbs up” icon that means 
that you added an item that the client will like.  The happier 
the customer, the bigger the pay.

***********************************************************************
B. TIPS
***********************************************************************

1.	Sometimes when a worker is working on an item, the colour of that 
item will change to another worker.  Click on that worker so that 
he/she can be ready to start work on the item immediately when 
the current worker hurts him/herself.
2.	Sometimes it is better if two or more workers work together on 
certain items such as the floors and walls and big items like 
windows, as these items take a while before they are completed.

***********************************************************************
C. WALKTHROUGH
