<para>
&ktuberling; a simple constructor game suitable for children and adults alike. The idea of the game is based around a once popular doll making concept. A potato was decorated with various small artifacts to make it look more like a tiny person. &ktuberling; however, goes much further in terms of content and adds a surprising variety of different themes.

</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 other playgrounds with different themes.
</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:ebischoff@nerim.net">&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 choose. You can even use it to learn a bit of vocabulary
in foreign languages.
</para>

<title>Placing an Object</title>

<para>
To drag an object, move the mouse pointer to the <quote>objects</quote>
area and Click on it. Then move it to the <quote>playground</quote> area 
and click again.
<note><title>Note:</title><para>Size of the objects may change while dragging. Some of the oversized objects have been scaled down to feet into the “objects” area.</para></note>
</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, move it to the new place and click again
to drop it. When you drop 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>

<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
