Summary
Strengthen real-time collaboration presence so users can see what collaborators are doing — their active tool, drawing activity, turtle script execution, and typing state — plus watch remote turtles in action with animated trails.
Presence Indicators
- Active tool badge — small label next to each remote cursor showing their current tool (brush, eraser, shape, etc.)
- Drawing pulse — pulsing animation on the cursor arrow when a collaborator is actively drawing
- Turtle running icon — turtle indicator when a collaborator's script is executing
- Typing dots — animated three-dot indicator when a collaborator is typing in the turtle editor
Remote Turtle Enhancements
- Animated trails — fading polyline behind each remote turtle showing its recent path (last 20 positions)
- User name labels — show who owns each remote turtle
- Smooth rotation — interpolated heading changes instead of snapping
- Color glow — subtle shadow effect using the user's color for visual distinction
