### Available backends
  1. [Terminal](https://github.com/IsotoxalDev/ChipOxide/blob/main/examples/terminal.rs) (Through [cossterm](https://crates.io/crates/crossterm))

### How to get started?
You can go through the [Eamples](https://github.com/IsotoxalDev/ChipOxide/tree/main/examples) directory. The documentaion on docs.rs would provide a starting point.
