well be all know fbf (frame by frame). you put your caps-lock off and when you click you go 1 frame further. What about a revearse FBF. so when you turn your caps lock off and you do a Right Click you Go 1 frame back.

Ofcourse this is only for Demo's!!!

Yes / No ??

tell me

That would be totally awesome for some DDA's.
I support this idea.
There's not really a downside.

While in FBF you could rewind the demo a bit so you could watch your favourite parts of demos over and over again, or see how someone does it.

Or re-do parts of the demo you are doing. ;D

Sounds like a good idea, I wonder how hard it would be to implement though.

Demos arent movies. The demo data is simply a list of keyboard inputs. Introducing any kind of 'rewind' feature would therefore require the whole demos feature to be rewritten from the ground up.

it's not like a movie -_-"

I think those codes are the coordinates or something, a revearse FBF will read the previous code.

No, demos really do only record keypresses. That means N has to have all the objects there to interact with, which won't work in reverse.

Unless it quickly recalculated the entire demo up to the point of 1 frame previously. I dont know how fast it could do that but the longer into a demo you are the slower it would be.

sounds great, but a co-ordinate based demo system would be needed to implement it
