The tutorial is divided into short segments of text, each one containing instructions. (I've numbered the text segments on this page -- those numbers don't appear when the tutorial is running.) When the tutorial is running, it pauses after showing each segment of text and waits until the user has completed the instructions before proceeding. | |||
On this page, I've put everything that is actually part of the tutorial contents text in | |||
boxes like this one | |||
so that it will not get mixed up with the commentary text, which is outside of the boxes. | |||
Once everybody has hacked on the contents here to their satisfaction, I will put them back into the source code. | Once everybody has hacked on the contents here to their satisfaction, I will put them back into the source code. | ||
