+===== Goal =====
+In this assignment you will be using Panda 3D and Python to create a basic interactive virtual environment.  The user can navigate around the environment and interact with various items.  The implementation is "data driven" - which means that the interactive content is described in a special "data file", which your "engine" reads in and presents (as opposed to "hard coding" content inside your main program).
+While you are given complete freedom to create any kind of room environment and include any kinds of items you want, keep in mind that some kind of overall story or setting that ties it all together makes the experience more compelling.
