Mechanically Challenged
Mechanically Challenged is a monthly challenge hosted by MooNiZZ and Captain Coder's Academy in which members of the community recreate different mechanics found in games! The goal is to create a library of references and examples for these mechanics in as many different engines and languages as possible.

This Month's Challenge: Time Manipulation
This months mechanic is Time Manipulation!
In 2008, Jonathan Blow's puzzle-platformer Braid came to XBox and blew our minds with its incredibly satisfying time manipulation mechanics!
In this month's challenge, you are tasked with implementing a Rewind mechanic that allows the player to reverse all of their actions! Remember, the goal is to create a simple (and hopefully elegant) solution that others can learn from and use.
Bonus: Create additional time manipulation mechanics.
Braid, Anniversary Edition
