How to use LogoSharp?

It is very simple and straightforward to use LogoSharp in your .NET projects that is either based on .NET Framework 4.6.1 or NetStandard 2.0. This means that you can make your LogoSharp app working with .NET Core and thereby provides the cross-platform capability.

1. Install LogoSharp NuGet Package, for example:

   Install-Package LogoSharp -Version 0.9.20-preview
   

2. Write your first app:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var logo = new Logo();
        logo.Forward += (s, e)
            => Console.WriteLine($"Forwarded {e.Steps} steps.");
        logo.Execute("FD 102");
    }

3. Run your app, you should get the message Forwarded 102 steps. on your console

Basically, a Logo program code is provided to the Execute method of the logo instance, LogoSharp will execute the code and emit the events. Therefore, event handlers that subscribe to a particular event will be hit once the execution of the code emits the subscribed event.
