Ideas for new short tutorials
« on: April 10, 2011, 06:19:43 PM »
I'm going to add a few new short, 3-6 step tutorials this week before I release a new update.

What are your ideas for new tutorials?

Here's an example of a 3 step tutorial (that will be in the next version):

1 - Load Saturn & Moons
2 - Select a moon
3 - Press explode
