Replies (re-plays?)
« on: October 27, 2017, 01:09:20 PM »

Dear Santa,

I would love to have replies in the game.

Basically the game would record all the commands I make during the game and then after the game is done it would save them in a text file. Then the game would have a reply function that could replay the game using the commands from the text file. Maybe with buttons to make the reply go faster or slower, or even pause.

These could even be linked to the highscores so one could download and watch all the highscoring runs.

Dear little Palikka,

Santa has looked into this before and found that built-in replays aren't really possible given Cogmind's architecture. Some attempts were made, but divergence is a real possibility, and fast-forwarding would also be impossible, despite being a rather important component for usable replays...
