Thanks to Gij we have new text for the web beginner's tutorial. I took the opportunity to make it look a bit fancier:

http://www.starsonata.com/tutorial.html

I had to limit the width of the text to 800px cause IE's CSS interpretation sucks. If anyone knows more then I do about web design and wants to take a shot at making it look good in all browsers, send me a pm.

Other feedback is welcome on this thread too.

Looks pretty good, nice job, Gij! Perhaps some sort of 'key guide' at the top. e.g.

C = Scoop
Space Bar = Fire
W = Thrust
A & D = Turn left and right, respectively.
etc.

Might help a few new players who just want to see what button they need to press for the desired effect, and don't know about the key bindings section. I think that the keys are stated in-game...but that they are part of the mission text, which they are unlikely to read since they have this guide to tell them what to do, or they might forget.

Anyway, it'd have limited use...but limited is better than none? No?

-The Paladin-

The Quick Start guide already has all these things, and since its listed above the beginner's tutorial, it should be read first.

Just one thing....a little "Roll Over Pictures to Expand", would be helpful. I didn't know until i accidentally did so.

You mean like the text at the top?

Make it bigger

Nice guide, good job Gij.

I corrected the typo for you.

Anyways, I like the tutorial, just one thing that might be missing is how you equip items, the question "how do you equip a scoop?" is in the top 10 of questions in help chat, I think.

Alright, thanks.

Thats in there.

"If you bought the Pulse Gun before selling the IonCannon, however, you'll need to manually equip it by double-clicking on it."
