# Ferris draw

- An educational tool aimed to teach the basics of programming to children.



  



## Project

- This project was originally an [Imagine Logo](https://imagine.input.sk/international.html) port to rust.

- The reason I am creating this project is because I had a ton of fun with it when I was in elemntary school learning about this.

### Project Features

- The project uses [lua](https://www.lua.org/) as its programming language, with [mlua](https://github.com/mlua-rs/mlua).

- Callbacks are implemented in this Application to further customize user experience, and allow the implementation of more complicated projects.

- You can import any library in your script, as the [lua](https://www.lua.org/) instance to support external libraries.

- The drawings are rendered with the [Bevy game engine](https://bevyengine.org/), to ensure flexibility, safety and speed.

- Ui components are created via [egui](https://crates.io/crates/egui).

- You can run scripts by utilizing the scripts tab but you can run quick commands via the Command Panel available in the application.

  - Syntax highlighting is available in the Script Manager and the Command Panel.

- The Command Panel has the user friendly interface with features to enhance production.

- You can also save and open projects.

- You can record demos and play them back step by step, so they can be explained thoroughly.z

### Drawing Capabilities

- Create multiple drawers (with a unique ID).

- Draw lines forward and backward.

- Rotate the drawer to left and right.

- Set the color of the lines the user is drawing.
