Game replays

Game replays were introduced in the patch for the 20.7 build (via Discord). The aim is to allow players to record puzzles so they can share solutions and to help with debugging. Currently, game replays can only be recorded via the Editor (press F12 to test the puzzle + record). When you've finished, a replay will be added to your Lode Runner Online/CONTENT/REPLAYS directory.
Like networking, recorded games will only playback on the same build they were created on (IE; a game recorded with 20.9 won't play on 20.7 or 20.10).

Special thanks to Cyantusk for helping to work out the kinks.
