Replays
At the end of a match you can save it and send it with a link. You watch the replay at speed 1, 2 or 4, even offline.
How it works
A replay isn’t a video. It holds the world code, the match settings and your commands. The game plays the match again, and the computer, which always thinks the same way, makes its moves again. That’s why a replay code is short. At the end the game checks that the state is the same as in the real match. If the code comes from another version of the rules, the game says so.
The viewer
Speed 1, 2 or 4, pause, and the view turns and moves as in a match. Saved replays are in the Replays menu.
