The basic structure of the encoding is a list of lists, where each block has these elements:
 +
# block number
 +
# block name or [block name, block value]
 +
# x position (depreciated)
 +
# y position (depreciated)
 +
# list of connections to other blocks
 +
 +
Turtles are encoded at the end of the list:
 +
# -1
 +
# turtle or [turtle, turtle name]
 +
# x position
 +
# y position
 +
# heading
 +
# pen color
 +
# pen shade
 +
# pen width
