Screen recorder extension

I present to you… the most USELESS extension…

PXT-GAME-RECORDER!

This is an extension that allows you to create “videos”, or just record your gameplay while, well, playing a game! It’s not anything to do with your browser and is just the simulator screen, although I am planning to add more features like capturing music as well somehow?

Here’s an example project. Pressing A won’t start a new recording until you stop your first one.

Some ideas on what this could be used for:

  • A kill cam maybe
  • A video recording simulator
  • A horror game where you are recording your screen and you watch it later to find secrets
  • Just a feature where you can watch old gameplay. Since your video is actually just an array, you can use bettersettings to save it!

Does it just take the screen image put it in a array and then play it at a certain frames per second because that would cause 912 error for the image array in better setting’s

This is amazing! I can see it being used for an instant replay or something.

what do you mean “useless”

it could be usefull for showing tutorials in game

Well, yeah every 16 ms it adds the screen image to an array and reads it as an animation. Really simple but why won’t it work? What’s the difference?

But you’ll have to record the tutorial… also I originally meant for this to be used to share gameplay or something to be honest, which you could just do with your computer.

Umm btw I just found a strange bug that should not be there so expect it to be fixed in probably another 300000000000 years

Wait nevermind you can just record it in another copy of the project and then copy the video, and then go to the original project, and then paste it back…

have you tried adding the screen sprite and the video array in the extension by default

The settings namespace has a memory limit and 2 frames would easily break the limit

That would be nice

No, or at least from what I think you mean. If you’re saying I should pre make the video array, I don’t know where to do that and also then you wouldn’t be able to have multiple videos???
