== Installation ==
== Installation ==


Currently no release version of ScummVM for WebOS is available but a snapshot of the upcoming version 1.3.0 can be downloaded via Palm's Beta App Catalog. Simply visit the following URL with your phone's web browser and then tap the install button:
=== Installation via App Catalog ===


* http://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.github.kayahr.scummvm-beta
An older version of ScummVM is available in the official Palm App Catalog. But because Palm is pretty much dead and the publishing/reviewing mechanism is a pain-in-the-ass, the Palm App Catalog is no longer supported. Please follow the instructions for manual installation instead. In that way you always get the latest and greatest ScummVM version.


Alternatively you can follow the [[Compiling_ScummVM/WebOS|compiling instructions]] to build your own package and then install it with the ''palm-install'' script from the WebOS SDK.
=== Manual installation ===


* Download the [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scummvm/scummvm-{{StableVersion}}-webos.zip?download ScummVM package] manually.
* Unpack the downloaded ZIP file. Inside you will find an IPK file.
* Install this IPK file on your phone by using the ''palm-install'' script from the [http://developer.palm.com/ WebOS SDK] or with [http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-coding/274461-webos-quick-install-v4-04-a.html WebOS Quick Install]. You can also copy the file to your phone via USB and then use [http://preware.org/ Preware] to install it.
'''Palm has removed the download pages for the WebOS SDK. The old download page is [https://web.archive.org/web/20130527051214/https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/sdk_pdk_download.html archived here]. The files are also [http://www.ailis.de/~k/permdata/20140715/palm/ archived here].'''
=== Install from source ===
If you like compiling ScummVM yourself then follow the [[Compiling ScummVM/WebOS|compiling instructions]] to build your own package and then install this package manually as described above.


== Controls ==
== Controls ==
* Flick two fingers downward for the menu.
* Flick two fingers upward for the keyboard.
* Flick two fingers left to emulate the Escape key.
* Flick two fingers right to toggle between Trackpad Mode.
* Flick three fingers right to toggle Auto-Drag Mode.
** When this is on, put a finger on screen and hold still for half a second to start dragging.
** Whether it's on or off, you can always double-tap and hold to start dragging, just like you would on a computer trackpad.
* Flick three fingers down to pause and unpause (forgive the spacebar message).
* Tap with one finger to click normally.
* Tap a second finger with one already touching the screen for a right-click.
* Tap a third finger with two already on screen for a middle-click.
'''Trackpad Mode''' is what older ScummVM WebOS ports used. This is now OFF by default. When on, you move the finger on the screen, and the mouse pointer moves relative to it -- just like using a laptop trackpad.
'''When Trackpad Mode is OFF (default)''' the pointer will move to exactly where you tap, so tapping on an object clicks that object. If you put your finger on the screen and slide it around, you can hover over objects on the screen (useful to see what they are) without risking clicking on them.


* '''Tap & movement:''' Mouse movement
'''Auto-Drag Mode''' is useful for games like Curse of Monkey Island and Full Throttle that require you to hold down the mouse button to access the possible actions. You can still put your finger on screen and immediately slide it around to hover over things without clicking.
* '''Tap without movement:''' Left mouse button click
* '''Tap held for >0.5s without movement:''' Right mouse button click
* '''Tap held for >1s without movement:''' Middle mouse button click
* '''Double Tap & movement:''' Drag and drop
* '''Back gesture:''' Escape
* '''Forward gesture:''' Open menu
