</inlinemediaobject>
&ktuberling; is a game intended for small children. Of course, it may be
suitable for adults who have remained young at heart.
</para>

<para>
It is a <quote>potato editor</quote>. That means that you can drag and drop
eyes, mouths, mustache, and other parts of face and goodies onto a potato-like
guy. Similarly, you have a penguin and an aquarium on which you can drop other stuff.
</para>

<para>
There is no winner for the game. The only purpose is to make the funniest faces
you can.
</para>

<para>
There is a museum (like a <quote>Madame Tusseau</quote> gallery) where
you can find many funny examples of decorated potatoes, penguins and
aquariums. Of course, you can send your own creations to the programmer,
<ulink url="mailto:e.bischoff@noos.fr">Eric Bischoff</ulink>, who will
include them in the museum if he gets some spare time.
</para>

<para>
&ktuberling; can also <quote>speak</quote>. It will spell out the name of
the objects you drag and drop. It will <quote>speak</quote> in a language
that you can chose. You can even use it to learn a bit of vocabulary
in foreign languages. Currently, &ktuberling; can <quote>speak</quote>
Danish, German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Romanian,
Slovak, Slovenian and Swedish.

<sect2 id="place-object">
<title>Placing an Object</title>

<para>
To drag an object, move the mouse pointer to the <quote>objects</quote>
area on the right. Click on the object you want to drag, but do not release
the mouse button until you have moved the mouse pointer to the location in
the <quote>playground</quote> area where you want to drop the object.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="move-object">
<title>Moving an Object</title>
<para>
Once dropped in the <quote>playground</quote> area, an object can be moved.
Just click on the object to select it for further drag and drop. When you
click on it, it goes on top of other objects that were partially hiding it.
This trick is useful for getting the glasses and eyes placed correctly.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="remove-object">
<title>Removing an Object</title>
<para>
To remove an object that has been dropped in the <quote>playground</quote>
area, drag it back from the <quote>playground</quote> area to the
<quote>objects</quote> area.
