+&kbattleship; uses an &XML; based communication protocol so you can write
+clients for every platform and in any language.  If you want to write
+one in your favorite programming language or/and environment, contact
+us. We would really like to hear of it.

+<title>Using &kbattleship;</title>
+
+<para>
+If you want to play &kbattleship;, you will need two players, either play
+against the computer or in a network against another player.</para>
+<para>
+In a network game one player has to open the game via
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Game</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Start
+Server</guimenuitem></menuchoice> or by pressing <keycap>F3</keycap>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A dialog box opens which will ask you for for a
+<guilabel>Nick name:</guilabel> and <guilabel>Port:</guilabel>. Normally,
+&kbattleship; will suggest your login name but you can enter any string
+you want. The predefined port should be OK. However, if you encounter
+problems, you can choose any other free ports above 1024.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>You need to tell the other player in case you use a port other than
+the default as both players need to use the same port in order to be able
+to establish a connection.</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+The other player has to choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Game</guimenu>
+<guimenuitem>Connect to Server</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, or press
+<keycap>F2</keycap>. Again, a <guilabel>Nick name:</guilabel> is
+suggested, but you can choose any name you like.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+An important point is the field <guilabel>Server:</guilabel>. Here, you
+have to enter the host name of the server (the machine of the player
+that initiated the game).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Another possibility is to play &kbattleship; against your
+computer. Select <guimenuitem>Single Player</guimenuitem> from the
+<guimenuitem>Game</guimenuitem> Menu, or press <keycap>F4</keycap>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When you are done, you can start the game. Simply follow the
+instructions in the statusbar. It will issue hints and suggest what to
+do next. When you now look at the screen, you will find two grid fields,
+the so-called <quote>battle areas</quote>. The left area belongs to
+you. This is where you place your ships and where you can follow the
+military actions of your enemy. The right area is where your enemy's
+fleet is located. When it's your turn to fire, you need to click on a
+certain sector (a field of the battle area) where you suppose the ships
+to be located.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+First, you need to place your ships. The game initiator starts. When
+he/she is done, player two sets his/her ships.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Ship placement is very easy: Simply click on the field where you want to
+place your ship. The first one will have a length of four squares, the next
+will be three squares long &etc;. Click on the field where you want to start
+the placement. If you click with the &LMB; the ship will be placed horizontally,
+a &Shift; &LMB; click will cause it to be placed
+vertically. &Shift; itself will flip the ship placement preview.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Now you can blindly fire with a &LMB; click on the enemy battle area. The status bar indicates
+who is about to shoot. 
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The first player destroying all their opponents ships wins the game!
