I started the tutorial and began creating the beach scene. But when I export and test the game the emulator opens and only shows a blank green screen.

Do you have the player on the screen you want to go, also are you clicking export and test specifically because there is an option to test the previous version

When you "Export & Test", NESmaker compile all the scripts and gfx to generate the ROM nes file, then starts the emulator to play that game.nes rom.
If you have any error in your project, scripts, ... the file is not generated, the emulator doesn't start.

The errors are listed/explained in the command line (black) window.

There doesn't seem to be any errors but the emulator opens and there's just a green screen. I created the tutorial project using an empty module though. Would this affect it?

Yes, empty module literally only contains the bare essentials to make a NES program run. There's nothing else to set up by default, it's for more advanced NESdev use, building from the ground-up.

Use a different module as your starting point if you're not comfortable with that.
