You have been here over two years, please act that way. You know well that you cant just ask for code, and also to maybe structure your question a bit better. Can we atleast know what type of game it is?

The way i do it is to save only the player input, and make the game so that it depends only on the player input. (You can introduce some randomness into the game, as long as you do stuff like save the seeds.)
I'm pretty sure this is how most mainstream games do it.

Basically, when the game is played, it records the player's input. To watch the replay, the game is restarted with the same initial conditions, and the control is read from the recorded input file, so the computer "plays" the game in exactly the same way as the human player did.

It can be a bit of a pig to get right- miss out one tiny thing, and the replay diverges from what was recorded.

I believe someone found an AVI plugin that allows you to make avi animations. Try searching.


Practice makes perfect. But if nobody is perfect, why practice?

@blobby: Probably a function to record user input.

From that everything else can be derived (except for programs with the RANDOMIZE command in.)

To do that just use an ultra-massive array full of mouse clicks, mouse coords and keyboard presses.

I can't be bothered to invent a signature
