Help Browser

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Help Button on Title Screen opens default browser, directly to the wiki at

Opening to a default browser appears a bit problematic. It appears this can 
only be performed through Qt objects within C++.

However, I can work on (or take from somewhere else) a browser specifically for 
our app.

Is this the direction you would like to take?

Version 1 of the browser committed.

I didn't realize it would be so tricky - I was under the impression that any 
time a hyperlink is clicked, the device would open a browser. (And that in this 
case, the button would function as the hyperlink).

How much time do you think this will take? Because the alternative is to just 
have a little blurb say "For more information please visit our wiki at 
dicehero.wikispaces.com"

I've already committed version 1 of a custom browser. Check it out and tell me 
what you think

Ah good work, you found the solution I intended to suggest. WebView is ideal 
for this, and the QML Web Browser example adds all of the navigation that they 
should ever need. Haven't had a chance to run it, but I've played with WebView 
enough to know that you're on the right track. If you run into any issues with 
it let me know.
