The tutorial code has been implemented in the last iteration of my master thesis. The code is not perfect and does not fit into the state logic of the model.

We should split the TutorialStateController and find a solution how to enable and disable all relevant elements in the app to prevent the user from taking unwanted paths: One example is the close buttons of any dialog which is always available - even if it is not the current task in the tutorial.

In the first iteration I decided to hide the AppBar when any dialog is open. I did so to prevent the AppBar blocking the sight at the model.

A few weeks later I implemented a custom solution which I called MenuBar. The menu bar has a better positioning a solves a couple of bugs with the AppBar. Now it could make sense to keep it always visible - even if a dialog is open.

The icons used in the menu bar are not optimal:

1. The style is not consistent.
2. The "About" and "Legend" icons should be more expressive.

JUnit 4.12 contains the Assert class with over 900 lines of code. The application gets slower when the source code dialog has been opened for this class.

We need to find out how we can fix this performance issue.

To provide the user an easy reset mechanism we could add a button to the menu bar which reloads the scene via SceneManager.LoadScene(string).
