	SSGI800 This seems to be the first implementation of Rush Hour® developed for Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0. The project has been done and kindly sent to us by a group of students from Macquarie University, Australia. More precisely - by Group 4, enrolled in the ITEC800 course. The program’s name is an acronym derived from the first initial of each of the Group 4 members – Steve, Selvakumar, Gaurav, Iva and the numeric portion of the ITEC800 course code. Before downloading and playing the game, please, download and read carefully (!) User Guide especially software and hardware requirements. Then download the program and follow the instructions from the User Guide.
