Unfortunately I largely misinterpreted how long the tutorial would take me and only got up to step 7. My scenes were not compiling for errors I couldn't understand, and as a result I couldn't play the scene to see what was working. I think this tutorial would be much easier if I had two monitors and a mouse rather than a split 13" laptop screen.
EDIT: Completed tutorial. Had a significantly easier time using a second monitor and a mouse!
