Going back a line in the backlog leaves the picture zoomed or panned wrongly

Readers who step back through the story expect to see what they saw then, including the framing. If the view is rebuilt by undoing each move, small errors pile up and the picture drifts. Here is a way to make going back exact.

Why this works

Going back is only exact if you keep what the view really was, not the steps that led to it. Undoing steps piles up tiny rounding errors, while a stored copy of each earlier view returns precisely the picture the player saw.

When not to use it

It costs memory that grows with the story, so it is the wrong choice for very long or endless scenes, or when the view holds a lot of data. Then store only checkpoints every so often and rebuild the lines in between from them.
