Summary0021526: "How to Play" tips should be accessible from inside the game
DescriptionOtherwise people will start games thinking they know what they are doing and get confused. If I need to go back to the main lobby I have to save, quit my game, read the tips then go reload my game. Very inefficient if I just have a simple question that could be resolved by one of the tips.

It's already in the middle of the escape menu -- it says "how to play" right in the middle of the various other options. Maybe we need a different ordering, or colorization or something? I dunno.

Whoops on my end. Maybe throw some colour on it?

Thanks!

* Added colorization to the text of the buttons in the in-game escape menu to make it less overwhelming.
** Resume is now a light blue, How to Play is now a vibrant green so people notice that, Debug Menu is now a dully gray so it's less intrusive, and Quit Game and Exit to Desktop are now light orange and red so that they are no longer so mixed up in the list of everything else.
** Overall this should hopefully help people miss things less frequently in this menu, most-particularly the "how to play" bit.
