USAGE

       The game will start by default in windowed mode, but it can be changed into  a  fullscreen
       mode. The configuration will be maintained whenever it is started again later.

       Initially a login screen will be presented to the user. Users can either create an offline
       account for themselves or use the default Guest account. When  logging  into  the  game  a
       desired age (school year) can be selected to fine tune the difficulty of activities.

       When  logged  in, the game will present a starting screen with 3 main groups of categories
       of activities to choose from. When a group is selected a list of all  categories  suitable
       for  previously  selected  age  group  will be shown. Further selection of a category will
       display a list of available activities. Upon clicking on an activity icon  it  will  start
       taking  up the whole screen. A back button is located in the top left corner to go back to
       the previous screen.

       There are two steps to selecting a language. The language selected  on  the  login  screen
       will  change  the  language  of  the login screen only, but also will be used as a default
       language for new users. After logging in individual users can choose a different  language
       - the icon to access the language selection screen is located in the bottom left corner of
       the home screen - the language selected here will be saved  for  each  user  individually.
       This allows users to use the program to learn other languages.

       The game data for each user is stored at ~/.local/share/eduactiv8/
