### Running the examples locally

Should be as easy as cloning the code and running one of these:

    cargo run --example hello
    cargo run --example calculator
    ...

Check the examples folder for more examples.

### Running the examples on Android

First install and set up [cargo-sdl-apk](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-sdl-apk).

Then, running the examples on android should be as easy as locally, almost:

    cargo sdl-apk run --example hello

### Changing rendering backend

Appy is, by default, using [SDL](https://www.libsdl.org/) to render its graphics. It also supports 
[Glutin](https://crates.io/crates/glutin), which can be turned on as a feature. Check `platform-examples/test-glutin`
for a project that is set up to use it. Running locally is done in the same way, i.e. with `cargo run`, but if you want to use Glutin on Android you need to use [cargo-apk](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-apk) instead of cargo-sdl-apk.

### Live reload

If you want live reload during development this can be done with [cargo-watch](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-watch). Install it and run:
```
cargo watch -x run
```
