Tutorial in Webtiles
Hey, so I was introducing a friend to DCSS and of course I thought the quickest and easiest way to just jump in is to pop in to webtiles. So I had my friend jump into webtiles and I spent a minute or so kind of showing him around a little, and then I was like "Hey, you should run through the tutorial, it's short and fairly informative"
Then I realized I had no idea how to start a tutorial game from webtiles (At least from CAO)
Is there a way to do that? And if not, should there be?
I think of webtiles as the quickest and easiest way to introduce a new player to DCSS, but of course I primarily play offline (because of lag) and console (Because I'm old school and my pattern recognition is faster looking at colored letters than at tile images) so it had never occurred to me until just now that the tutorial wouldn't be accessible by webtiles.
I'd imagine that a link to *just the tutorial* from the DCSS main site would be a nice thing for people who land there, after all it's not like you really need an account or a score or anything to play it.
