    What is it: I think it would be great to have an undo button and a shortcut to undo(eg: Ctrl+z)...

    What it does: I'm pretty sure you don't need my help to explain what undo does....

    So yeah... just saying.

    There are many ways to go about this, my suggestion is to have the game create a stamp of the entire screen every 15 seconds (amount of time can be set). Once there are more than 20 or 30 (can be set) stamps, the last one is deleted, and 15 seconds later, a stamp comes and the last one is deleted again.

    The problem would be the lag issues with taking a stamp every 15 seconds, though.

    However with the new multi-threading that Simon is talking of implementing, maybe a system like this could be used? will have to see the speed increase once it is implemented into TPT.

    I say the best way to do this is to save the state of TPT every time Mouse 1 or 2 is pressed. Ctrl+Z reverts back to that state.

    I, out of habit, when mistaken, press Ctrl + z but everything remains in place.

    I like this idea, because my idea would still run even when we're not using TPT.
    But we need the
    bchandark:
    Once there are more than 20 or 30 (can be set) stamps, the last one is deleted, and 15 seconds later, a stamp comes and the last one is deleted again.

    thing for undoing more than once

    I suggested this a long time ago to Simon and he even put it into the Version Changes on the Download page during the beta but I guess he never got around to it.
