A Rust port of the well-known LearnOpenGL tutorials by JoeyDeVries, keeping the code structure close to the original C++ so readers can follow along at learnopengl.com. It contains runnable example programs covering getting started, lighting, model loading, and advanced OpenGL topics.

Use cases

• learn OpenGL in Rust
• follow learnopengl.com tutorials with Rust code
• see how to set up GLFW and OpenGL in a Rust project
• study shader, lighting, and model loading examples
• compare C++ OpenGL code with a Rust equivalent

When to choose

• you want to learn OpenGL while writing Rust
• you are following the learnopengl.com tutorials and prefer Rust examples
• you want a reference for raw OpenGL calls in Rust

When to avoid

• you need idiomatic Rust code or safe abstractions
• you want a production graphics engine or framework
• you prefer higher-level libraries like glium or wgpu
