 = !PyGame on the HP Touchpad tablet =
 This is a short guide on how to install Python and !PyGame on the WebOS based HP Touchpad tablet. The Python and PyGame porting work and WebOS bindings were done by '''THP''' and are available from his [http://thp.io/2011/webos/ WebOS page].
+
+== Prerequisites ==
+Download the Python and PyGame binaries from THPs WebOS hacks website.
+
+== Start script ==
+I've made a short startup script that makes it possible to just unpack the binaries to a random folder and use Python & PyGame without the need to install anything to system wide directories.
+
+{{{
+#!/bin/bash
+
+## A setup and demonstration script for PyGame
+## on the HP Touchpad WebOS tablet
+
+## path to the Python runtime
+PY_PATH="/media/internal/pygame_test/python"
+export PY_PATH
+
+## path to the Pygame runtime/library
+PYGAME_PATH="/media/internal/pygame_test/"
+
+## add the Python runtime to the system path
+PATH=${PY_PATH}/bin:$PATH
+export PATH
+
+## add the Python runtime to the system library path
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PY_PATH}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+## add Pygame to the Python path
+PYTHONPATH=${PYGAME_PATH}:$PYTHONPATH
+export PYTHONPATH
+
+##
+## the environment should now be ready for running
+## Python applications using PyGame
+##
+
+## start the example application
+cd tts
+python main.py
+}}}
+
+Just dump this script to a file called for example ''start.sh'' (or download start.sh) and run it with:
+{{{
+sh start.sh
+}}}
