Speech balloon #312

I'm thinking something similar to the Scratch talk function (I forget if that is what it is called).

Basically, at key moments in code, you could write something like: showText 'I'm full!' 30 Then a little speech balloon would appear above the bunny to say that it is full, and it will go away after 30 seconds

The reason is that in our pilot we are seeing that not all of the interactions are as clear as we'd like. We are making some other changes to make them more clear, but long-term this feels like something that'll eat a lot of coding time when some simple words could make it clear quite quickly to support the modeling.

I'd want to run past Noel / Corey if this is going to take a lot of time, but figured I'd ask.

Yeah we had talked about this. With the recent changes I made for the histograms, this becomes easier. It's pretty easy to show text in a rectangle. A little harder to draw an actual text balloon.

Figure somewhere around 2 to 4 hrs depending on how fancy we go.

OK, awesome. I'll confirm with Corey and Noel and then follow up shortly (end of day).
