Excellently easy hold, zohnin! You have a great talent for explaining thins very well. Check this hold out if you're new to TCB!

I gave this a 7 and 0.5 brains.

Meh, this hold wouldn't have been half of what it is if it weren't for the guys at architecture. I didn't explain pressure plates for god's sake.

Sweet! I didn't know about the ctrl+5 = Wait 30 (and ctrl+any other move= back and forth).

Enjoying this--it really is nice work.

Idle question: was wallu a testsolver? If so, did he play L17:1E before it was done as a cutscene? (I can't imagine how he could have done it in less than 16 moves otherwise. And: am I right in thinking that this is the kind of thing that the spider can't catch?)

Zonhing's Tutorial 3.0 is unfortunately as good as I could have expected, but nonetheless it was pretty fun. The puzzles were easy but reasonably enjoyable, but after the first level I gave up on reading the scrolls (too tired to read, yet can't sleep) so I can't properly analyze its "Tutorialness" although from what I read it could have been much more elaborately explained.
It serves as a good for a break from more difficult holds.

Fun - 5
Difficulty - 1

Post-mastered!

This hold, like its predecessor, is a good tutorial. It teaches a bunch about the new elements. Of course, like the first Zonhin's Tutorial, it lacks the depth that Advanced Concepts has. (Hmm, is Advanced Concepts going to be the benchmark against which all tutorials are measured?)

I liked this hold. New players really should play it so they can learn about many of the basic interactions and all the introduced elements TCB offers. Even DROD veterans could have some fun with this. It was this hold that taught me that ctrl-5 waiting until the next spawn cycle (or 30 turns, otherwise). It is mentioned in the help files, but not in the official hold's tutorial.

So,
7 for fun.
1 for brains.
65/100 approval rating.

For an "easy" tutorial, this is really a nicely polished hold. I have to admit that I missed most of the secrets, which means they were well-hidden. I enjoyed that and trying to beat each room in the fewest number of moves. Well done!
