Hi,

So I am fairly new and have been trying the Gdevelop tutorials within the Guided Lessons section of the app but have had a couple of issues that lead into what I am about to request.

What: I would like to request two related features. 1. The first is that the Guided Lessons tutorial messages can be moved/dragged around the screen.

And the second feature request is that there be a tutorial button in a specific spot somewhere so that the tutorial message can be toggled so that it disappears if blocking something important, or can be made to appear if it can’t be found.

Why: 1.I have had trouble navigating some of the guided lessons, especially on the app, because the tutorial message balloons periodically cover the button they are telling the user to press to advance. I can often figure out a way around it eventually but was thinking if a person could just nudge the tutorial balloon around the screen it would make it a lot easier to follow and proceed.

As for the tutorial button idea, while it overlaps with the first reason in some aspects it is also because of another issue where I have found that I am unable to progress in the guided lessons because the tutorial message disappears at a certain stage and I am uncertain how to proceed.

In the forum I found that myself and at least one other person have been stuck in the fling game tutorial because of this. To a lesser extent I had the issue crop up in other tutorials as well where the tutorial message disappeared but I was able to complete them by restarting the tutorial from the beginning whereas that hasn’t worked with the fling game tutorial.

I know I said two requests but another possible remedy occurred to me. If there was a tutorial log you could navigate to in another tab that allowed you to scroll through all the steps of the guided lessons in the event that the messages disappeared that could also be a useful work around too.

In any case I am very excited about Gdevelop and want to become more proficient at it. I hope I submitted this properly and that this feedback is found to be helpful.

Thank you.
