Every reply

Where the robot was when the game paused, how far it still had to go, and the controls the model sent for the next stretch, with anything the game moved, cut or skipped. The run file carries an arcade-session/1 envelope. Its input tape, in the game's own format, replays this exact run at Micro Mouse commit 87bf0cb.
