Original issue 56 created by sfiera on 2011-01-02T19:40:42.000Z:

It should be possible to create new replays in the game. This is one possible pattern for how this could work:

1. When each game is started, create a file such as "~/Library/Application Support/Antares/Recent Games/Replay 2011-01-01 at 5:38:00 PM.AntaresReplay".
2. Append InputSource data to it at each frame.
3. At the conclusion of each game (or on exit, or something), run a function to reap all but the ten newest replays from the "Recent Games" folder.

Some notes:

• The current replay format is not really designed as an append-only format; it does a form of RLE to collapse sequences of identical keystrokes. An append-only dialect of the format can be simulated by appending runs of length 1 (see also [http://code.google.com/p/antares/issues/detail?id=55 issue 55]).
• "Replay 2011-01-01 at 5:38:00 PM.AntaresReplay" is not a localized name, nor is it portable. It will have to be possible to substitute in other formatting strings, but not at the first cut.
• Being able to view the replays is a separate issue. So is being able to convert them into video files. Both should eventually happen.
