## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, game-engine, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, tutorials, programming-languages
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: opengl, learnopengl, rust-graphics, tutorials, shaders, glfw, game-development, desktop
