Welcome Screen
This is a quick overview of the Welcome Screen menu in MANU Game Maker.
Welcome Screen is designed to help you get started with MANU.
Interface Overview
The header of the Welcome Screen includes the version and build number of the MANU application you are currently using. You can use this information if you would like to report a bug or issue with MANU. The MANU version and build number changes as we release new updates. To review a list of fixes, enhancements, and updates, click on the <View Changelog> button. See more in Changelog.
The left panel of the Welcome Screen shows a list of recent projects. Please note that if you open the MANU app for the first time, the fields for recent projects will be empty.
The left panel of the Welcome Screen screen contains four sections: (1) Manual, (2) Video Tutorials, (3) Demos, and (4) Sample Projects. These sections are designed to help you get started with MANU.

Demos
A demo game is a freely distributed piece of a playable video game with advanced assets and interesting gameplay. The goal of demo projects is to demonstrate the top features you could use to make games in MANU. You can download and edit fully playable demo games if you click on the <Demos> button from Welcome Screen. To find out more about our demos, go to Demos. 
Sample Projects
A sample project is a non-playable game. The project includes the assets and settings related to one popular game mechanic you could use to create your own scene in MANU (for example, a pick-up). The goal of sample projects is to help you quickstart in MANU. Here you can download and use projects offering popular game mechanics. To learn more, go to Sample Projects.
