Examples

Trial includes a system with a variety of examples called trial-examples. After loading it, you can fire it up via trial-examples:launch which will show a menu where you can pick an example to run. You can also run a specific example directly by passing an initarg.

You can also download precompiled versions of Trial's examples as binaries from our releases. Note also that the assets seen here can be found in trial-assets and are not otherwise available in the trial resource pool.

The following examples are currently available:

• triangle
