how to run turtle graphics in Colaboratory

how to run turtle graphics in Colaboratory Given that we can do other types of drawing/visualization in Colaboratory, I would think running turtle graphics would be pretty simple (but not so simple I've figured it out!) I can import the turtle library, but I get the following error when any draw command occurs: TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable Thanks in advance. 1 Answer 1 I think P5.js is your best bet.
