How about an option to replay your final level with omnicient mode (all visible) so we can see exactly what happened?
I'm not a dev, but I guess this is basically an ASCII frame dump that can be saved, replayed and possibly shared with others.
So we can get a sense of movespeeds, keep the frame resolution at .2s.
EDIT: I was thinking this would only generate the ASCII dump on victory or death and would the file would be replaced on each subsequent replay.

That's nowhere near as simple as it seems because the game does not currently record events as they happen. But if it did it would be extremely easy to write a program that would read this data (from the temp file or ram) and display it during play giving the player a perfect tracking map at all times...

Oh definitely not easy for sure. Clearly an straight ASCII dump wouldn't capture a single animation/explosion/effect or much of anything beyond object placement. . In fact, I'd expect it to realistically cause performance issues since we'd probably need to set up data buffers and whatnot.
It's a feature I'd like to have anyway :P
Let those coder types deal with the logsitics!
