Have a back button for tutorials.

Post by Starwarrior1128 »

When using tutorials, if you miss something there is no way to go back to review the part you want to see again. You have to quit the tutorial and start it all over again.

Unfortunately, this is hampered by a technical limitation. The tutorial is just an ongoing commentary on a game replay. There's currently no way to go backwards in a replay. When you want an earlier turn, the server reloads the game from scratch and replays from the first turn through the previous turn. But the tutorial itself runs on javascript on your browser, so they would be out of sync. The browser and the replay need to run hand-in-hand for everything to work.

As a result, going backwards is not as easy as it should be. Fixing this situation will require a lot of work.
