   ./master.py

2. Recording game session

   ./master.py record [output_session_file]

3. Playing recorded session

   ./master.py replay [input_session_file]

Troubleshooting

1. Error opening serial port

This error can happen if you are using a different port for your serial communication. Changing '/dev/ttyACM0' in:

`self._serial = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0', 9600)`

for your port should fix this bug. Possible ports are: '/dev/ttyUSB0', '/dev/ttySB0' and others. If you are adapting for your os and you have the time, please submit patches with fallback code.

2. libc.so.6 not found

This can happen if you are using a different libc version or if you are using mac os. Changing 'libc.so.6' in:

`libc = ctypes.CDLL('libc.so.6')`

for your correct lib name should fix this bug. If you are adapting for your os and you have the time, please submit patches with fallback code.
