Replay files

The game creates replay files each time you play, the first thing to do will be to include the replay file player in the release.
This part is almost done, missing just a few tweaks

Speedrun support
I love watching speedruns, and would be glade if people do some. Replay files by themselves are enough, but I could include more tools to list speedrun files :

  • Centralized server: to list all speedruns with player names and best times
  • Categories: to specify speedrun types (100% kill, maximum player or weapon levels,...)
  • Replay player and votes: in order to remove fake replays, users will be able to vote if the replay is legit or not
  • Automatic replay checker: when a replay is sent, it will be checked by an automatic tool (on our server) before publishing

The biggest problem will be that replays are version dependent, if Snorms is updated, chances are that replay files will be invalid for a new version. I don't know yet how to easily solve this.
