NAME

       gpe-othello - Stategic one-player board game for GPE.

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gpe-othello game.

       Othello is also known as Reversi. gpe-othello is a strategic boardgame for the GPE Palmtop Environment which involves play against a
       handheld computer on an eight-by-eight square grid with pieces that have light and dark faces.

       The player places light-faced pieces so that there is at least one straight (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) line between the new piece
       and another light piece, with one or more contiguous dark pieces between them. Pieces captured in this manner are turned over and can be
       used in later moves. The winner has the most number of pieces showing the appropriate face when the grid is full or when the other player
       has no pieces of their own colour left.

       This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

NAME

       gpe-what - context-sensitive help for GPE.

SYNOPSIS

       gpe-what

DESCRIPTION

       gpe-what is a notification tray applet to control context sensitive help in the GPE Palmtop Environment.

       The GPE user interface is heavily icon-oriented, and it is not always completely obvious what the exact effect of each button is going to
       be. On a desktop system this would be dealt with by "mouse-over" tooltips, but these do not really work when your pointing device is a
       stylus. GPE-What provides an alternative mechanism for interactive help.

       GPE-what implements a modal help system for the GPE environment. It provides a "help" icon in the dock panel.

       When this icon is clicked, the system enters "help mode"; normal UI is suspended, and the next mouse click selects the widget for which
       help is wanted. The help text, if available, is displayed in a small pop-up bubble. This mechanism much much more useful for touchscreen
       use compared to the "mouse-over" tooltips known from a desktop PC.
