Write a file to storage and insert a variable (like FirstTime). Check to see if the file exists or not. If the file variable does not exist run the tutorial, otherwise if it does exist skip the tutorial. [import]uid: 132483 topic_id: 34455 reply_id: 136984[/import]
I’d save a variable for how many times the app was opened, and then if it’s == 1 do your tutorial. For saving, this is my favorite library, by Satheesh:

By doing this, you can also keep it for later, in case you want to do something like a rating popup on the 10th time they open the app. [import]uid: 147322 topic_id: 34455 reply_id: 136983[/import]
In my main.lua I load my settings file, which is a big table of settings, music On/Off, soundOn/Off etc.
If I try and load my settings file and I can’t because it doesn’t exist yet, I create a default settings file and save it. I set a firstRun to true. If I can successfully load that file, its no longer the firstRun, so set firstRun to false and away you go.
