How to create a Replay System like in Super Meat Boy using Unity
Uploaded by Trever MockShare: Twitter Facebook
In this video, I show how to create a replay system similar to the one in Super Meat Boy using Unity. We'll start with replaying a single playthrough and then expand the system to handle replaying each attempt at the level.
The example in the video is done using a platformer-styled game; however, the concepts and logic in this tutorial will apply to most other types of games as well.
Thank you for watching and I hope the video was helpful! ?

0:00 Intro
0:41 Input vs State Based Replay
2:32 How it's going to work
6:42 Project Overview
8:30 Recording the data
11:31 Creating the Replay Object
12:35 Replaying the player
19:56 Switching the Camera Target
20:39 Replaying more state data
25:11 Replaying multiple objects
28:55 Replaying like Super Meat Boy
31:29 Optimizing for memory usage
34:22 Outro
► RESOURCES
This is an excellent resource which goes over some more complicated topics like Memory Streams in a Replay System. I highly recommend giving it a look, especially if you're trying to optimize for memory.

If you're struggling with the event-driven stuff used in this tutorial (onGoalReached, onRestartLevel, etc...), this is a short and excellent video that will bring you up to speed with how I'm using events in this project.
