Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The lack of tutorials for how to use FastJ greatly hinder a newcomer's ability to effectively use the game engine.

What should the solution be like?

Add tutorials to FastJ depicting how just about anything in FastJ works -- from an empty window, to rendering game objects, to adding game object behaviors, to scene management, etc.

Anyone is free to create tutorials!

@lucasstarsz will be proofreading and content-checking tutorials as needed. You may also request that I notify you if your tutorial needs to be updated for whatever reason -- you can opt out of this at any time.

Hi, I think I'm starting to have some knowledge in FastJ. I would like to help with " Empty Window using SceneManager" and "Using Audio" examples...
