Player's Phantom

[royal arch]

After an online match, a replay of the game is saved, and you can download this replay to play with the player who won the game. This will solve the problem of a small number of players.
What can a phantom do?:

1. The phantom passes through all the blocks.
   This is done so that the player cannot block 90% of the Phantoms.
2. Can be killed with a laser, just like a regular player.
   Cons:
   In addition to the inherent disadvantages of bots, there are also disadvantages that are worth mentioning.
   Since the Phantom is just a replay, strange things can happen, for example:
3. A phantom can protect itself from a superlaser that doesn't exist, or protect a generator that doesn't need protection.
4. The phantom will lose blocks, generators, and lasers while you do nothing.
5. Strange mistakes with energy. for example: Even when all of the Phantom's generators are destroyed, it will still create a superlaser that works for some reason.
   Pluses:
6. Training against real strategies 2. The ability to play against a strong player at any time
7. Make the game more accessible to beginners
   But in their pure form, phantoms give a lot of "breaking" To make the idea work, you need to: 1. To position the phantom NOT as a real opponent 2. Use phantoms only in training modes

I mean you could have a video play under your map but no push back. I don’t think there is a way of having actual blocks unless it becomes an AI bot doing the actual actions

Cool nonetheless though

Let's say yesterday I played with a beginner in LazerGrrl. He lost to me. My scripted moves remained in the game and can be loaded, so now he and other players can try to beat me. In this way, the game can be played without real players. And I think strong phantoms will be more interesting than bots.

At the same time, it will be different from fighting me because it's just a replay of how another player tried to defeat me)

At this stage we just need better bots
