So when I run the game locally there is no visual feedback at all? Is there some way to turn visualization on?

On the Visualize tab, you can just drag the .hlt file onto the page to see it. There was a local visualizer, but we scrapped it to focus on a single implementation.

The devs are actively monitoring the site's forums and you might want to take this there.

It would be nice to have a submit file button in addition to drag-and-drop. Not everyone is using graphical file managers with this interface feature.

This also makes it difficult to automate. Similarly, maybe I would like to automatically submit my new bot when I do a commit or a push, but the Submit button uses Javascript which makes this unnecessarily difficult. (At least for me.)
