Could work temporarily because I am not looking forward to input fields and advanced event management...
Now that I have JSON reading and writing in place, I think its time to work on some of the major "refactorings" that are needed. Here are some of the things I want to work on next:
Finally finished the recording playback system. It was quick but fun. Here is kind of a rundown on how it works. Assuming we start with no existing recordings, the system adds a "RecordPositionComponent" to any entity with a "PlayerTagComponent". The "RecordPositionComponent" only has an unordered map where the key is the tick that is recorded and the value is the "PositionComp...

I'm not well versed in compilers or the issues that keep coming up but from what I see its something to ...
