 ==== Main Tutorial Popup ====
+{{:gamemanual:mainmenu_tutorial_popup.png?direct&300 |}}
 If you have tutorials enabled, the first thing you might notice at the center of the screen is the Main Tutorial popup. If you wish to start the main tutorial, click "Yes." If you want to prevent this popup, you'll have to disable the tutorial system. The popup will not go away even after you do the main tutorial. But you can either ignore it, hit the escape key, or click the close button. For more information on tutorial popups and the help system in general, visit the [[gamemanual:gui_help_menu|Help Systems]] page.
