.@bitvec_rs has been great about keeping the https://t.co/8ydhr4eown example up to date in the turtle crate! Today it was updated to bitvec 0.18! Check that out here: https://t.co/ziYqddE1Pv

Also read the new manual for the bitvec crate in the tweet below! 🎉

I have kilowords of documentation that still aren't as useful as this visualization. Show, don't tell.

It's now been 3 years since the first commit to the turtle crate! Turtle is a @rustlang library that allows you to create fun and interesting animated drawings! It's a great tool for teaching/learning Rust.

Here's a preview of some of the things that happened this year! (THREAD)

It was on this day 2 years ago (Aug 5, 2017) that @sunjay03 made the first commit to the turtle crate! This @rustlang implementation of "Turtle Graphics" inspired by the Python turtle module and the LOGO programming language has been through a lot of milestones! (THREAD)

Finally, we'd like to end this thread by saying a big THANK YOU to everyone who has used the library or contributed to making it great! It has been a pleasure to develop this over the past few years and we're looking forward to the future! ❤️🦀

This is drawn by changing the pen size repeatedly while moving in a straight line. The pen is circular, so you get this really smooth overlapping circles.

The colors are randomly filled in and different every time you draw the image:
