Tutorial should explain the classic Amiga controls #37

Description

Currently the tutorial only explains how to use the new-style control system, not the classic Amiga controls (where you hold down a key to open the four-way menu).

If you start the tutorial with the new-style controls selected, everything is fine -- the tutorial will explain the controls of the game and you will be able to learn how to play. The messages even dynamically adapt to the key bindings chosen, so even if you are not using the default WASD keys, it will work fine.

However, if you start the tutorial with classic Amiga-style controls, it is not so good. The game does show a message explaining the situation (i.e., it explains that the tutorial will only teach you the new-style controls), but then it simply continues with the normal tutorial, i.e. it basically just ignores your preference for the Amiga-style controls.

A better solution would be to adapt the tutorial messages based on the control system selected, e.g. when it is teaching you to set traps, it could tell you either to click the trap icon on the action bar (new-style controls) or open the menu and press either left or right (old-style controls). And similarly for other situations where the controls differ.
