ANTLER

A textureless rendering engine written in Rust.

Usage

1. If you don't already have it install Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/
2. Install Antler using: cargo install antler (or without gui: cargo install antler --no-default-features)
3. Navigate to parent of input directory (example: git clone https://github.com/FreddyWordingham/worlds; cd worlds)
4. Run: antler-window parameters.json5 (or without live window: antler parameters.json)
5. Tinker!

    }},
