Usage:
Send the group to your calculator. Run either money\money() or push diamond+6 to play.

Goal:
Who wants to be a millionaire? NOT YOU!!! You want to be a BILLIONAIRE!!
By using the bank's 5 percent interest system, the stockmarket, mining, a job, buying businesses, and even a little gambling, you must make 1 billion dollars. (Thats 1,000,000,000, or 1E9 on your calculator.)

The Office
This is where you start out.
F1 is the bank, F2 brings you to the stockmarket, F3 displays statistics, F4, the airport, F5 saves the game, and F6 quits.

F1. The Bank
Push F1 multiple times to speed up the years and add interest to your account (It is possible to win the game this way, but is extremely boring.) Use the manage options to deposit and withdraw money from the account.  F3 displays your account, and how many gems and minerals you have. Use F4 to exchange these minerals into money. This bank is a member of the FDIC and will restore your money of up to $200,000 after a robbery.

F2. The Stockmarket
The stockmarket is a risky way of earning money. Use F2 to buy and sell your stocks, and F3 to see your stocks.

F3. Statistics
This displays your money in your pocket, your account, and the stockmarket; how many minerals you have mined; what job you have; and what businesses you earn.

F4. The Airport
The Airport is your link to the outside world. Each round trip costs $1000 to fly, unless you are the pilot, then you can fly for free. There is a small chance your plane will explode, costing you money for hospital expenses. (No, you can't die in this game; you just get really big booboos.) Once again, if you are the pilot, there is virtually no chance of crashing. Obviously you care for yourself more than those Japanese kamikaze pilot that normally would fly you.)

 ---Business HQ
This is where you buy businesses.  With each business you own, you make more money a day just from doing nothing.

 ---Job Market
This is where you choose your job. You can only do this once; you are never fired and can't quit your job. With $1000/year, you make 1000 dollars per year. With $20/hour, you make twenty dollars each time you look at your statistics.  With Airline Pilot, you can fly yourself around for free, and not worry about crashing.

 ---Mines
Mining is an interactive business. Push enter as fast as you can as much as you can to mine as much as you can.  There is a slight risk of hurting yourself with mining.

 ---Casinos
This is where you go to play some games and do something interactive, to get away from it all. REMEMBER: gambling is risky, you may lose more money than you make.
  -Blackjack
This is a simple form of blackjack. You can hit or stand trying to get your count as close to 21 as possible without going over and beating the computer at the same time.
You can bet up to as much money as you have in your pocket.
  -Slots
This is a simple slot machine. Push enter to stop each number. Try to get 2 the same for 500 dollars, 3 the same for 1000 dollars, and or 3 five's to win the jackpot of $5000.
  -Lottery
This is a never-ending one million dollar giveaway.  Every ticket you buy increases your chance of winning by 1/1000 (0.1%).  For instance, if you have 16 tickets, you have a 16/1000 chance of winning, or 1.6%. View the results to see if you won. (This also brings your ticket count to zero.

F5. Save Game
This saves your game, or reloads your game.

F6. Quit Game
Quits the game. ALWAYS QUIT THIS WAY, or your folder will be cluttered with variables.
