Introducing CodePlayer: Watch your code like a movie

I was hoping it would allow me to &quot;play&quot; my git repo.<p>What I want is the ability to see how a function has changed over time. I want to zoom in on a particular function, and watch it grow from a stub to a hairy beast, as the project matures.<p>Does something like this exist?

So basically screen capture? I was more expected something along the lines of a visual debugger that steps through code whilst zooming into functions and variables jumping around when they get copied or assigned or something.

Interesting. I did something like this a few years back, sample output:<p><a href="http://uguu-archive.appspot.com/misaka/replay.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;uguu-archive.appspot.com&#x2F;misaka&#x2F;replay.html</a><p><a href="http://ioccc.org/2013/misaka/spoiler.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ioccc.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;misaka&#x2F;spoiler.html</a> (mirror, in case if I ran out of quota)<p>I would be curious in some implementation details for this project, particularly how the intermediate deltas are stored.

Very interesting. I have used a very similar service to learn html, css, js.<p><a href="http://thecodeplayer.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thecodeplayer.com&#x2F;</a>

Khan Academy does something like this with their ACE editor as well. Theirs goes a bit further by allowing you to pause and edit the code (for the tutorials in their CS area) and then when you replay, the code reverts back to what it was before you paused. Would be nice to see something akin to that implemented here as well. At the very least, being able to edit once the &quot;movie&quot; is over would make it far more functional.

This is a nice idea, something like &quot;watch me think&quot;.

Perty cool. Good job ;)
