Ok so the way this works is when you create a new project, none of the tabs are opened by default. You can use the view menu to open various things, and then use "Build" from the project menu to build the project. Building a project will create a folder and some files if needed, but you also will still need to save or the actual project file won't be saved (it will prompt you).

Thanks for bringing this up, because I can definitely see how this is a bad user experience to not have some kind of indication that the project was created or what to do next. I'll have to think about how to fix this, maybe add a message box or something.

It may also be a bit confusing that you still need all the code to make a NES game from scratch. I really should put up some examples of how to at least build a small demo.
