This is an old page, the redesign has been implemented in 0.8

The tutorial added in 0.7 is a huge improvement to the old hints mode (which is badly in need of an overhaul) because it …

• offers the player a safe environment for learning
• reduces the amount of text
• guarantees information that was previously randomly triggered

However, I think we can take things a step further… (For the old concept see the bottom of the page.)

“Problems” with the current concept:

• A lot of commands in a very short time.
• No intuitive breaks between lessons, no re-caps.
• The player gets no time to experiment with e.g. a new combat system before learning about the next one.
• If you want to go back to re-read a specific part of the tutorial, you have to re-play through the entire movement section which gets annoying even with autoexplore.
• Also, the levels could be made to look more interesting. (Should be a bit of a teaser for the real game.)

The idea is to offer the player several distinct lessons picked from a sub-menu similar to the Sprint maps.

1. Movement + exploration
2. Monsters + combat
3. Items + inventory
4. Magic + spellcasting
5. Gods + divine abilities
6. minigame applying the lessons

Each lesson would comprise a fixed map with messages triggered by defined squares, as currently. At the beginning of each lesson, a message summarizing the goal of the lesson is displayed, e.g. “In this lesson, you're going to learn how to move around and explore a level.” along with the command to access the message history. At the end of each lesson the player is congratulated and is presented with a screen displaying all commands learned over the course of the lesson. Ideally, finishing a lesson (or leaving early) would land you back at the submenu (and the last lesson on the main menu).

Commands:

• arrows (cardinal directions)
• numpad/vi-keys (diagonals)
• closed door
• downstairs
• shift-move
• upstairs
• secret glass door (obvious non-dead end) → searching
• autoexplore
• dead end → secret door → searching again
• steam generatory (“geyser”) → autoexclusion
  • This might seem odd at first, but a common question for new Tiles players is, “What do these red X's mean?”
• return to start/exit (X>, minimap)

Commands:

• find weapon → pick up + wield
• see monster (training dummy) → approach and attack
• resting for hp
• another more interesting, single monster (e.g. cockroach) → examine for weaknesses, then kill
• group of different monsters → x+
• one of them carrying/throwing stones → pick up
• inaccessible monster (training dummy) → f
• bow and arrows → wield
• more monsters (row of training dummies) → f+, ff
• [trigger?] → switch quivered items → f(

The current tutorial is actually pretty good with providing mini-puzzles for the player:

• poisoned needle trap → healing potion
• cursed item → ?remove curse
• ?identify for good/bad items
• killing monster → corpse → chop for food
• burdened by stack of items → quantity drop
• wand → killing monsters

I also suggest:

• water → =levitation (with skewed Evocations skill)
• gold → shop → Ctrl-O?
• ego weapon
• artefact armour
• Ctrl-F
• examining items
• multipickup (2 items on the same square)

This is the one lesson I don't have a very clear concept for. I am anticipating the following:

• find a spellbook containing two spells (Sting/Magic Dart, plus Blink or another utility spell)
• memorise the first spell
• inaccessible monster (another training dummy?) → za, zap
• resting for mp
• more monsters → gain a level
• learn the second spell
• apply the second spell
• new spellbook containing Animate Skeleton (with a load of decay-delayed skeletons around)
• forget an old spell (player's choice) by destroying the first book
• learn the new spell + apply it
• control allies (attack, wait here)
• kill more monsters → gain another level (special explanation about the importance of Int)
• learn Mephitic Cloud
• cloud placement

All spells contained in either of the two books should fulfill completely different functions. The idea is that the player can learn about targeted spells, direct-effect spells and position dependent spells. No spells above level 3.

In addition, the following is possible: Start out with Spellcasting skill slightly below the first level and enough xp in the xp pool to get to the first level by reading scrolls. Explain about skills, hand the player a stack of scrolls and let them train Spellcasting. The first book could be handed out beforehand or afterwards.

We could also cover success rates: Give the player a choice of body armour types (leather armour, ring mail, plate mail), point to the I screen and let them work out how spellcasting and armour interacts.

All of this is good stuff. We should also explain that players can read spell descriptions. (If we want to, we could show how ”?/” is one way to access information in-game. Once they've seen it for spells, they can apply this to branches, gods etc. on their own.) — dpeg 2011-01-23 14:26

Offer choice between two gods, e.g. Makhleb and Trog.

• pray at both altars to compare the gods, then pick one
• check ^ screen, ^!
• kill no-corpse monsters → gain piety for killing
• kill monster → corpse → sacrifice
• tougher monster → “use your divine (a)bilities”
• more killing monsters (with and without saccing)
• (check ^ screen for improved religious standing)

Here, the idea is to give the player a chance to apply the lessons naturally *and* bring across the game's goal at the same time. The best way to do this is to design a minigame that tasks the player with collecting three different runes, get the orb behind a door that can only be opened with 3 runes, and then return back to the exit.

• 3 distinct challenges for the runes (e.g. snakes, kobolds throwing darts, imps)
• unique “boss” monster in the orb chamber (Sigmund, most likely)
• Challenges absolutely must be doable for a low-level character with the items supplied and resting between encounters.
• Dying in the minigame is okay, though there should be a special message if it happens.
• The starting area should offer a choice of altars (Trog, Makhleb, Fedhas?).
• The starting area should also contain a shop with fixed inventory, all viable but not everything affordable.
• Providing (more) gold in the rune chambers for upgrades would be cool.
• Tentative rune names: learning, training, tutorial rune
• Picking up the rune could trigger a message for useful bonus commands (e.g. '#', '%', '?' subcommands), should also be viewable by examining the runes.

On “winning” the tutorial, there should be a congratulatory message (possibly screen).

Great stuff! Here's a tutorial idea: stat screens. There could be a short course on how to use and observe '%', '@' and even the stat area top right. There could be different equipment scattered around the tutorial to try on, and see how they change the character's statistics. (Idea comes from after reading the Immortal Warwalrus report.) — evktalo 2011-01-16 10:11

I think it's more interesting if the player learns about these naturally over the course of the tutorial (e.g. '%' in response to putting on some type of equipment that confers resistances). Personally, I don't feel the @ command is _that_ important. It's almost completely superceded by the status lights and the overview screen. However, the stat area worries me. I've no idea how to explain about AC, EV, SH or even where to broach the issue of hit points or the xp pool. The stats, at least, are mentioned in the level-up messages, though not their abbreviations. (Should they be?) — jpeg 2011-01-23 13:18

Implementation patch: here

The aim is to improve learnability of the game. The very basic commands are taught in a terse manner, so that the player needs to read as little as possible and can effectively scan for the commands needed. Unlike the current tutorial (future “hints mode”), these maps don't have any randomness.

The following problems identified in the Usability Project report are addressed (or an attempt is made to do so):

• 2.1: Tutorial texts have too much information
• 2.2: Tutorial gives some information about gameplay too soon
• 2.3: Too long tutorial texts
• 2.4: The word “tutorial” raises different expectations than what the mode actually is in the game
• 4.7: The difference between lower and upper case letters as commands is hard to pick up
• 4.9: vi-keys are obscure and unintuitive
• 7.1: It is not obvious that resting is the main way of regaining health
• 7.2: Player doesn't realize that corpses need to be chopped before eating
• 7.7 It is not obvious that the player can (and should) move diagonally

• Code-wise, the tutorial gamemode needs:
  • No monster spawning
  • No random generation of any kind: (monsters, items, traps, shops can be done with tags), vaults and dungeon generation are hopefully turned off with encompass
  • Welcome message
  • Turn off ET/overflow generation
  • The player should start with Hungry, or be guaranteed to hit it by the time they get to the butchering room (there should be a triggered message)
    • (In general, this design doesn't include triggered messages for the tutorial - many would likely be useful.)
  • The character should be fixed: High Elf with some Spellcasting skill (but no spells), without a weapon
  • Experience: the character should gain an XL at some point (with appropriate trigger messages)
  • Piety hax - there should be enough piety to use Minor Destruction
  • There should be helpful texts in the inventory etc screens, like in the current tutorial.

To test these maps: replace entry.des with these maps.

Known bugs: Overflow altars break these maps spectacularly sometimes.
