Palm Heroes is designed to operate on Pocket PC and similar devices, which use a combination of touch-screen and hard keys to navigate various programs. Whereas in most computer operating environments, “click” refers to a physical depression of a button on mouse device, for PH it means to tap on the Pocket PC screen with a stylus. “Double clicking” simply means tapping the screen twice.
“Right click” refers to pressing the enter button and simultaneously tapping the Pocket PC screen with a stylus, or tapping and holding the stylus for several seconds.
Game maps are created in grid pattern containing “tiles.” Tiles can be occupied or unoccupied. Some are blocked, while others are open for passage. In the main map, tiles are square, whereas in combat they are hexagonal (hexes). In all contexts, however, tile refers to the number of spaces on the board.
