    I would love it if there was a 1 frame forward/backward button. (Mobile too)

     

    1.u could make codes using conways game of life

    2.u could check when a reaction happened,...etc.

    You can press f to pause the game and skip ahead one frame. Repeatedly pressing f lets you go ahead one frame at a time. This works on mobile too if you bring up the on-screen keyboard.

    Going backwards one frame is not possible, but on PC you can go back to the last point you drew anything with ctrl+z. Storing the simulation state every frame would be impossible, as often it would use ridiculous amounts of RAM.

    What if you save the simulation only when you press f, and a limited number of times?

     so the RAM usage would skyrocket
