What is it?
Armagetron Advanced 0.2.8+ has a feature to record a play session. This session can later be used by developers to find and squash bugs.
Creating a Debug Recording
All Platforms
Use your shell to pass some command line arguments to armagetron:
To record: armagetronad --record filename
To playback: armagetronad --playback filename [--fast-forward SECONDS]
where filename is the name of the file to be recorded to / played back.
(On windows, you can issue shell commands by entering them in startmenu->run. Remember to give the full path to armagetronad.exe if you do that.)
Mac OS X
Use the helper application included with the game to start or playback an Armagetron Advanced recording. The application has a feature to compress a recording using bzip2 after Armagetron Advanced quits, so you can upload to the forums easily. It also will decompress a bzip2 or zip file for playback.
Windows
The beta release installer creates links in the start menu to record/playback to/from a file called recording.aarec that is located in the program directory.
