Constants
public static final String HIGHLIGHT
This strategy will select the most interesting part (highlight) of the unfolding gameplay by analyzing changes in intensity (usually represented as changes in point value) over time.
It depends upon having the developer call the Megacool.registerScoreChange during their game in order to keep track of changes in point value/intensity
public static final String LATEST
This strategy keeps the newest frames recorded. This usually works best when the highlight of the recording is the final moments, like a racing game.
public static final String TIMELAPSE
This strategy will speed up the recording to fit within the target number of frames. The
resulting length will be between 1.33x and 0.66x of the number of frames set with
setMaxFrames(int).
This works well when something is constructed over a longer period of time, like a city built from scratch, or a drawing. This also works well for games like 2048, where seeing the long play reveals the player's strategy.
