Feature request: Play animation of my turtle drawing my art

[zachlatta]

I'm in a Blot workshop now and trying to learn the API. I'm finding it a little challenging to get my head around the API, and specifically around building a representation of the turtle in my head as it is moving around and drawing the art.

I wish I could click a button to see a slowed down version of the turtle drawing my code, including the turtle's current orientation as it draws.

I believe there is/was a issue about this, let me try and dig it up

(currently kind of stalled, but since you are the amazing founder of hackclub there will be more incentive for this)

suggestion: How about adding a small rectangular box that shows how much time blot takes to plot your design on actual paper. For eg. if your code is able to produce something to the blue box in the editor, the rectangular box says, "Blot took x minutes to plot this"
