Fastfood:
----------

  This is a unique game that tests your finger pushing skill, your memory,
and your strategic thinking.  In Fastfood a customer gives you an order
and you have to place their food in the tray.  Easy?  Well you have to
remember what they ordered and what you have already put in the tray,
while working within a time limit.  Don't worry, there are 3 training levels so that 
you can get prepared before the lunch crowd hits.  Become the employee of the month
and win the game!

Installation:
--------------

Unzip and send to your calculator with a graph link.
Run "fastfood" to play.

Playing the Game:
------------------

  The customer gives you an order and you have to put it on their tray.
Use left and right to move and the [2nd] button to pick up the food.
Put the food on their tray by moving over to the tray and pushing
the [2nd] button again.  When you are done with the order go to the cash
register and press yet the [2nd] another time to take the next order.
You have a time limit!  If you don't place their order in the tray
before time runs out then you lose.  If the order is correct and you're
not at the cash register, the next order will start.  Keep taking orders
until you are out of customers.
  This game really tests your speed, memory, and strategic thinking skills.
There are 3 levels of game play.  From easiest to hardest they are: Late night,
supper rush, lunch rush.  Increasing to the next level will increases the number
of items a customer may order and the number of customers.  The
customer's order is given for only a moment so you must memorize
what they ordered.  The order is not always in the same sequence and varies
everytime.  You must keep track of how many items you have put in the tray
along with the number of other items they ordered.  You can use some
strategy to make it easier to memorize. For example, if you picked up the wrong
food item, you can just put it back. The time limit is there
to put some pressure on you, so you don't slack off on the job!  You win
when you become the employee of the month.
