Merge state tut

Erm, no offense but.... do you know what a tutorial is?

Usually, it's made up like this:
- title
- stating the problem
- step-by-step instruction to solve the problem
- concluding statement

Usually, these points are divided into paragraphs. Now, let's compare...


You wrote a sentence that contains many points. That's bad. Why? Every aspect should get it's own part so that it becomes easier to understand. I myself had to "translate" your "tutorial" into something like this in order to actually get what you wanted to say:

- problem: when a ball is being hit, it shall destroy any other ball
- solution:
-- step 1) go to the first hitting frame
-- step 2) change the current state to the required one
- conclusion: balls that run with state: 3000 or 3005 will be destroyed by this ball when it has been hit before.

Alright, now, after being understandable I must say: that's all? 35 words? And not even mentioning the "required state"? How shall a beginner get this?


I must admit, this is not what I expect tutorials to look like. They should be detailed, easy to understand, and written in a way that they are idiot-proof. Yours doesn't meet any of these conditions. You can imagine my rating.
