+>&ktuberling; offers a gentle and rewarding introduction to &kde; customization and programming. The application can be extended. For example, without any coding, new playgrounds can be added by changing the graphics files. By adding appropriate sound files, translators can change the sounds to their native tongue! </para>

+>The size and shape of the playground and the number of objects can be changed. New playgrounds can be added. Only two image files need to be created for each playground: a gameboard and a mask. A maximum of 8 playgrounds is allowed, out of which only 3 are currently used. </para>
+
+<para
+>Six images are used in &ktuberling;: <filename
+>potato-game.png</filename
+>, <filename
+>potato-mask.png</filename
+>, <filename
+>penguin-game.png</filename
+>, <filename
+>penguin-mask.png</filename
+>, <filename
+>aquarium-game.png</filename
+> and <filename
+>aquarium-mask.png</filename
+>. The standard location for these files is the folder <filename class="directory"
+>$KDEDIR/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/</filename
+>. </para>
+
+<para
+>The first type of images, <filename
+>*-game.png</filename
+> holds the playground and the objects that the user selects. This is the graphic that the user sees when playing the game. </para>
+
+<para
+>The second type of images, <filename
+>*-mask.png</filename
+>, contains only masks of the objects. The masks are used to delimit the borders of the objects and, in some cases, give the object some transparency (for example, the spectacles). It is mandatory to put the objects at the same position in the gameboard file as in the mask file. </para>
+
+<para
+>In the same folder, a file named <filename
+>layout.xml</filename
+>. (<filename
+>$KDEDIR/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/layout.xml</filename
+>) tells which images to use and links them to menu entries. It also contains the position parameters of the playground and the objects in the gameboard and in the masks. It assigns the sounds to objects and places the objects in groups. It finally declares languages as sets of translated sounds. It follows standard &XML; syntax (see details <link linkend="layout-details"
+>below</link
+>). </para>
+
+<para
+>Still in the same folder, a file named <filename
+>layout.i18n</filename
+> (<filename
+>$KDEDIR/share/apps/ktuberling/pics/layout.xml</filename
+>) recapitulates the strings in <filename
+>layout.xml</filename
+> that can be translated: <itemizedlist>
+<listitem

+>The menu entries that allow to choose the playground and the language</para
+></listitem>
+<listitem
+><para
+>The names of the categories of objects</para

+
+<para
+>One folder above, a file named <filename
+>ktuberlingui.rc</filename
+> (<filename
+>$KDEDIR/share/apps/ktuberling/ktuberlingui.rc</filename
+>) is a second &XML; file describing the menus of &ktuberling;. It should contain one <markup
+>&lt;action&gt;</markup
+> tag per playground and language. The symbolic name of the action in this file should be identical to the symbolic name of the action in <filename
+>layout.xml</filename
+>. </para>

+>Besides the usual <literal role="extension"
+>.po</literal
+> files mechanism for translating program labels and prompts, the sounds can be localized too. </para>
+
+<para
+>If the various translators can record their voice to a <literal role="extension"
+>.wav</literal
+> file, they can store that file to the language-specific subfolder of the sounds folder. The name of the sound is then assigned to a file in the <filename
+>layout.xml</filename
+> file. For example, if destination language is Italian, translators can record their voice in <literal role="extension"
+>.wav</literal
+> files located in <filename
+>$KDEDIR/share/apps/ktuberling/sounds/it</filename
+>. Then they can assign the sound named <quote
+>hat</quote
+> to the filename <filename
+>it/cappello.wav</filename
+>. </para>
+
+<para
+>In a future release, &ktuberling; will use OGG Vorbis rc3 file format for sounds. At that moment, it will be possible to convert the WAV files to OGG Vorbis rc3 through the following command line: <screen
+><prompt

+>oggenc -q 10 -o <replaceable
