HARDWARE

SOFTWARE

Software changes to the game include:
	1) The Map/instruction screens have been implemented.
	2) The steering dynamics have bben adjusted but are still not what I
	   would like.
	3) New Graphics have been added.
	4) Added the ability to fade into and out of screens, so that the
	   slow process of background decompression is not evident to the
	   player.
	5) Rewrote the main routine to make it easier to follow/manage.

This week we will be working on:
	1) Devise & implement a new scheme for game continuation - level
	   qualification.
	2) Improved traffic routines.
	3) Tuning traffic/markers/hotspots into levels 3,4, & 5.
	4) Adding two new attract modes:
	   a) Scenario description that sets the tone for the game.
	   b) A points screen showing what enemies/targets are worth what
	      points.
	5) Capturing game play statistics and associated display screens as per
	   marketing input.
	6) Implement add-a-coin fully.
