When you find a bug which has steps that are difficult to explain, you
can save the development team lots of time trying to repeat your bug by
recording your gameplay.

How it works
-------------

When you record your gameplay, you record the keypresses you made during
gameplay into a text file. This can then be run by someone who needs
more information about your bug.

How to do record
------------------

You need to be able to use the command line.
Open the command line, and run SuperTux with these arguments

supertux2 <level file> --record-demo <demo_filename>.txt

``<demo_filename>`` should be a path on your computer where you wish to save the demo recording.

**Note: You have no obligation to use the extension .txt, but this
means you can easily just drag it into the GitHub comment box**

How to play recordings
----------------------

Then, after recording your bug in action, test it out using

supertux2 <level file> --play-demo <demo filename>.txt

Uploading to GitHub
-------------------

Finally, drag the demo file into your issue report
Also drag in the level used to record the gameplay (rename to
``issueXYZ.stl.txt`` as GitHub is okay with .txt),
or name it if it exists in an addon or is included already in the game.
