Stunning! Can you give us some technical details? How are you producing the images (libraries, custom scripts, etc.)? I've thought about a project like this (your execution is light-years ahead of anything I could accomplish) using Nodebox -perhaps- as an excuse to learn something new about python.
Edit: I see it's in JavaScript? Excellent! Any other tools or techniques you found helpful would be interesting to read. Congrats!
Yep. Replays are exact, which was a conscious choice on my part.
I plan to explore inexact replays in the future. It's not difficult, just a bit of fooling about with the random number generator.
The main issue right now is that you can't tell the difference between two similar Silks unless you have them side-by-side. Solving that problem is something I'm looking into for future versions. :-)

I will probably set up a blog and write up some posts on the experience of making it sometime soon. :-)
Clicked on the example image but it didn't replay exactly. =[ Nevertheless, the non-exact replay was just as amazing. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1645/screenshot20110111at...
I think it is exact, but just a part of the total image is shown in the frame (the lower left part, look for it).

I second this comment. I'd really be interested in learning how you made something like this.
