i
have
been
wondering
this
for
a
while,
wouldn't
it
be
more
appropriate
and
beneficial
to
make
a
simple
graphical
assistant
AI
for
noobs,
instead
of
trying
to
force
them
to
run
the
tutorials?
(
basically
an
expert
system)

admittedly you would need to write a few simple functions to get the information for this assistant AI, but even giving a newbie the most rudimentary sugested actions
