So I've been throwing an idea around in my head for awhile about making what I like to call, lazy tutorials. This is a type of video tutorial where rather than making the whole concept by scratch in the video, I instead present something already made and go through the idea/workings behind it. Tutorials in general take a lot of work to make, and I think this cuts down on some of it. There are of course various pros and cons associated with this method, and I suppose I wanted to get opinions on whether this method is still helpful to those learning from the tutorials.
Note: Another part of this Lazy Tutorial is that I only did minor testing of the map itself (test document, but did not try it online. Still, I'm hoping that if there are any minor problems, that the user should be able to correct them easily)
Pros:
Makes for an overall shorter tutorial video
Less likely to have mistakes in the actual code (triggers in this case)
etc
Cons:
Perhaps not explained as well as traditional tutorial videos
Not fully tested (as explained above)
etc
