.SH "NAME"
rurple-ng \- learn programming in Python with a robot
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBrurple\-ng\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Rurple\-ng is a rewrite of RUR\-PLE, a programming learning environment\&. The student learns programming concepts by controling a robot\&. The original RUR\-PLE comes with a self\-learning tutorial in several languages that can also be used with Rurple\-ng\&.
.sp
Unlike other programming learning environments, RUR\-PLE uses a real world programming language (Python) with no modifications or restrictions\&. Thus the student can move directly from programming a robot to real world programs\&.
