Description
We want a feature of the web site where a student can choose to capture a screen from a running CodeWorld program, and set it as their avatar. The avatar has the following uses:
1. It is displayed in the UI when logged in, making it easy to see whether you are logged in, or someone else is logged in on a shared computer.
2. Eventually, it can be used for collaboration features, such as collaborative code editing, comments, and submitting code to a gallery. (e.g., the kinds of features in #551)
3. We want it for motivation reasons. The official curriculum will start with making student name tags, and then students may want to customize from there.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by mapping the existing logged-in UI, avatar handling, and the interface for capturing output from a running CodeWorld program; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Clarify the capture flow, storage and display requirements, and collaboration scope before implementation. Done should include a student-selectable program screenshot shown as the account avatar.
