A transcripting/logging feature? #166

Open erkyrath opened 9 years ago

People like keeping logs.

A helpful first step in this direction would be unlimited scrollback in the event/chat pane.

Unlimited scrollback is never a good idea. It always leads to a bug report saying "I played your game for six hours and it got so slow I couldn't even type any more. What gives?"

However, the current limit is 60 lines. I could bump that to a couple hundred, at least.

Emily notes that a playtester's transcript should really include actions and pane display updates as well as event pane logs.

(The original use case was "log a player meeting event in a location", which would just need the event pane logs.)

Bumped to 160.

I've implemented some of a logging feature, but there's no UI to activate it.
