snapshotdata.gd:

Now has a separate "lifetime history" of stored snapshots and EncDecBuffer.

New function, _add_to_lifetime_history, that accepts a snapshot, encodes it and appends it to to the end of the lifetime history before clearing the lifetime history buffer's buffer

New function, _convert_replay_to_snapshots
grabs a replay of encoded snapshot data and decodes it through the lifetime history buffer, replacing each index of the replay with a snapshot before clearing the lifetime history buffer and returning the replay itself.

New function, _convert_replay_to_lifetime_history, which is the same as the previous function, but instead of modifying the replay array and returning it, the snapshots are decoded and deposited directly in the _lifetime_history array.

replay.gd:
stores gzip compressed "replays" of serialized snapshot data to files. If the game is running out of the editor (even if project is not opened specifically), replays are saved to res://replays/ . Otherwise, replays are saved to a replay directory in Godot's userdata folder.

gitignore updated to not include .REPLAY files or the replays/ folder.

Cleaned some code that didn't do anything

Capitalized print strings

Reorganized/changed some of the print strings

get_file_name renamed to make_file_name for clarity

organized similar file opening functionality into a simple function call

removed redundant file_path_normal and file_path_debug functions

Saving a replay now has an optional "name" argument (default is just 'Replay')

replay.gd:

File moved to new folder

Added copyright notice header

Replays can now be initialized as their own objects

snapshotdata.gd:

Removed previous coupling with replay.gd, now 'reverted' to previous.

TODO: implement a variable rate at which replays store full snapshots to make playback easier.

.gitignore reverted

snapshotdata whitespace restored

Implement description draft

removed an extra space typo from the dbghelper debug helper addon section

replayviewer updates, unfinished

replays now save snapshots to their arrays and encode upon being saved

save func no longer static, moved to what was previously save_self

main.gd: replayviewer filepath fixed

replayviewer.gd and .tscn: general updates

megamain.gd: replay instance variable, records replays if project settings say so

replay.gd: has scene_path instance variable (serializes it when saved), added functions to check if a snapshot is a full snapshot based on its relative signature, and to check if a specific snapshot from a replay is a snapshot. also added some helper funcs for accessing the "status" of a replay. (How 'long' a replay is, how far through the replay a given frame index is).

made the replay an actual plugin

reading a serialized replay gets up to build_tracker after replayviewer.gd calls read_replay --> load_new_replay --> deserialize_history --> decode_delta
