NAME
----
rurple-ng - learn programming in Python with a robot

SYNOPSIS
--------
*rurple-ng*

DESCRIPTION
-----------

Rurple-ng is a rewrite of RUR-PLE, a programming learning environment. The
student learns programming concepts by controlling a robot. The original
RUR-PLE comes with a self-learning tutorial in several languages that can
also be used with Rurple-ng.

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.
