nannou_logo

An open-source creative-coding toolkit for Rust.

nannou is a collection of code aimed at making it easy for artists to express themselves with simple, fast, reliable, portable code. Whether working on a 12-month installation or a 5 minute sketch, this framework aims to give artists easy access to the tools they need.

The project was started out of a desire for a creative coding framework inspired by Processing, OpenFrameworks and Cinder, but for Rust. Named after this.

A Quick Note

It is still early days and there is a lot of work to be done. Feel free to help out!

The Guide

Examples

The following collection of examples are a great way to get familiar with nannou.

Directory Description
examples/ A collection of examples demonstrating how to use nannou!
generative_design/ Examples from Generative Gestaltung, ported from p5.js to nannou.
nature_of_code/ Examples from Nature of Code, ported from Processing to nannou.

If you spot an example that interests you, you may run it with the following:

cargo run --release --example <example_name>

where <example_name> is the example's file name without the .rs. Note that the first run might take a while in order to build nannou first, but consecutive runs should be much quicker.
