I would like to make a movie of how each track evolves over time. If each time a higher score is obtained, that position is recorded, then one would be able to see how the protein has evolved from low to high scoring. My intuition tells me that this would be relatively simple to do and would provide a great self teaching tool and may even be able to make demos for other people to see as well.
Currently we can save a position. If the position was saved each time the score increases and we could play through it like we play through the current undo history, we could see how the progress was actually made.
These movies used to be made in the early days of FoldIt: successively better evolver solutions were made into movies. A search on youtube for CASP8 will show them: unfortunately they're not playing on my machine for some reason.
Thanks SPVincent for pointing those old movies out. That is the idea - except to do it within the game in a similar manner to undo.
you could obtain capture software which will provide you with the result you need, I'm sure others would enjoy seeing it as well.
No, I'm pretty sure I know what Tony's on about. If you have played any of the recent Halo games on Xbox, the theatre mode in those games is very similar.

You mean like a track recorder? This is not such a bad idea, but unless interest in it sky-rockets, it may be put on the back-burner for quite some time.
It should allow for camera movement interaction, so users can see a particular protein folding at various camera angles.
