		 The Dock Game   
	
% In this game, you play a dockworker whose job it is to move packages into loading bays.  The goal of the game is to fill each loading bay and advance to the next level.

% The dockworker can move along the floor   along line of sight in straight lines only.  Just tap where you want him to go and heUll move there. You can move a single space at a time or several all at once.

% If there is a package in front of him, the dockworker will push the package with him.  .

% The dockworker can only push one package at a time.  He can move this package   which has lots of space to move into but he canUt move this one   because it is blocked by another package or this one   because a wall is in the way.  Plan your strategies carefully or else your packages will get lumped together, stuck in corners or against walls. 

% The goal of the game is to move all packages into the loading bay whose floor is marked with dotsfor each level. When done you will proceed to the next level and be rewarded with a short animated sequence For example, the following two pictures show a simplified sample level at the start of play and just before the user will win the level by pushing the final package into 	place.
