Glad that was helpful. With "bread crumbs" I refer to the tool I am about to finish within the next two or three weeks, the interactive tutorial creator I have talked so much about. My aim with this tool is that anything you do, instantly becomes a tutorial, that can be done again and played forward and backwards. Basically, your actions become an outline, and other users can "play them" again. This should mean that making a tutorial will take as much time as it takes for you to perform the action originally.
Im aware of how this might look, so I didnt want to talk about it until I release it, but if you are going to begin with the tutorials now, I think you should wait for me to release this and check it out, just in case it works as I say and you end up saving tons of hours. I can commit to a deadline in case you are in a real hurry to start with the tutos anyway :) But two weeks should do it at most. On Tuesday, September 24, 2013 4:16:23 PM UTC+2, Edward K.
