## Welcome to Turtle!
This crate will allow you to draw animated pictures with the Rust programming
language.
**This documentation is still being written. Many of the navigation links on the
left will not work or may break in the future.**
In the meantime, the following resources should help you learn what you need:
* [The Rust Programming Language Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/){:target="_blank"} - If you are new to the Rust programming language
* [Turtle Examples](https://github.com/sunjay/turtle/tree/master/examples){:target="_blank"} - Creative examples of how to use the crate for drawing things from basic shapes to colorful masterpieces, and even the logo of the Rust programming language!
* **How you can help:** Create and contribute examples! Open a PR on the Turtle
GitHub repository so we can add your example to the repository!
* [The Turtle API Documentation](https://docs.rs/turtle){:target="_blank"} - The drawing
functions and most of the rest of the crate is well documented
* **How you can help:** Add examples and better descriptions to anything you
think could use some more documentation
To start using Turtle, follow the instructions in the
[**Getting Started**]({% link guide/getting-started.md %}) section.
