Recording Demos

The Demos Screen is reached by pressing F6 from the Game Screen.

To record a demo:

  1. While playing a game, go to the room in which you wish to record your demo.
  2. Press F5 and type a description.
  3. Your demo is now recording.  Perform whatever actions you want.  Dieing, restarting, or exiting the level will automatically stop recording.
  4. Press F5 when you are finished, to stop recording and save the demo.

You can also set DROD to automatically record demos when you conquer a room or die.  After setting the appropriate options from the Settings Screen, it is not necessary to control demo recording.  When you have conquered a room or died, a demo will then be saved.

To watch or delete a demo:

  1. While playing a game, go to the room in which you began recording your demo.
  2. Press F6 to view the Demos Screen.
  3. A list of demos recorded in this room, if any, will be displayed on the left side of the screen.  Detailed information for one selected demo appears on the right.  Select the demo you would like to watch or delete.
  4. Click the "Watch" or "Delete" button, depending on your intent. While viewing a demo, press Space to pause, Up to speed up demo replay and Down to slow playback.
  5. When you are done, click the "Return to Game" button.
Importing/exporting demos:

Recorded demos can be shared with fellow DRODers. Click "Export" on the Demos screen to save the selected demo to disk. Click "Import" to load a demo file on disk into your version of the game.
