Abstract
An application renders a visual simulation to a display as a series of visual frames according to a plurality of calls. Each frame contains objects. A particular frame n of the simulation is captured for re-rendering. An identification of the frame n to be captured is received, a run file for the identified frame n is created, and for the frame n each call issued in connection with such frame n by the application is captured. For each issued call in order, all establishing calls necessary to establish state for the issued call are firstly written to the run file, and the issued call is then secondly written to the run file. Thus, the run file as produced represents an ordered list of calls that may be executed by an executable on any of a plurality of computing devices to re-render the frame independent from the application.
