Hole Idea: Turtle

[scpchicken]

you are a turtle and you must draw a path. there will be 1 input that consists of multiple lines. for example take the following input

5 N
3 W
2 S
7 E

you would output

oooo    
o  o    
oooooooo
   o    
   o    
   o    

as you start going up then left then down and right to intersect the previous path.
it could be more difficult if maybe you put an S at the start and E at the end or use 🏁 for start, 🐢 for end, ⬜ for path and, 🟩 for empty if you want to use unicode (if you end up at the start, you output the turtle but not the flag)

⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜🐢
🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🏁🟩🟩🟩🟩

I like this but I feel like unicode doesn't add much to this.

Also, an alternative instruction set (go forward, rotate left, rotate right) might be worth considering.

This is a minor point, but the use of 🏁 for the start confused me. A checkered flag represents the end of a race in motorsports and a green flag (or green light) is used at the start of it.

It could be better to guarantee that the start and end locations don't coincide. The current setup invites luck-based solutions, as the start and end cells either overlap or don't on any given run, so users can choose one and submit until it passes.

I liked it, was a bit on the easier side compared to others, so I second the rotating suggestion. Ive attached my attempt at it below, there's a lot I could have done better, specifically with my movement, but overall it works great.

i like it but i think the recommendations should be considered before shipping

Second both of these; on my device, the green and white squares do not have the same width, leading to a very unclean and unreadable output. Furthermore, the size of the characters and the size of the entire board leads to horizontal compression in the diff, making debugging more challenging.
