class FlxReplay

package flixel.system.replay

@:directlyUsed

The replay object both records and replays game recordings, as well as handle saving and loading replays to and from files. Gameplay recordings are essentially a list of keyboard and mouse inputs, but since Flixel is fairly deterministic, we can use these to play back recordings of gameplay with a decent amount of fidelity.
