Hi Brian, It doesn't sound like a locale issue. The layer of the graphics that draws the turtles still sounds like it is separate from the background. If looking at it this way makes sense to you then maybe look at where the background layer is being generated and where the turtle layer is being generated. The turtle layer seems to be getting access to shared data across machines and the background layer seems to be using local data. Your turtle moves and it draws your pen on the local machine but not to the shared data layer. What would it look like to draw the pen to the shared data layer? Are your turtle positions stored in a shared global variable? Should the turtle pens be stored in the same way?
I am sure you are thinking about this way already, so please let me know if my obvious questions are not helpful.
