gollark: You could just have it log the turtle commands it executes in some form, and maybe do a little more like track position and rotation.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: i.e. if I call `math.randomseed` with the same value on different CC computers on the same world, then generate X random values, are those X random values required to always be the same?
gollark: Is the CC `math.randomseed` thing guaranteed to produce the same results given the same seed on any computer?
