can you post a picture of the page ? I'm curious now

  Actually I just double checked and it turns out I misremembered; it does tell you how to install the library. But it didn't work properly when I tried to run it, I just got a blank window. A few people in the Nim discord had had the same problem and nobody could figure it out. I don't want to take a picture because I already wrote in the book and I don't want people to see my handwriting. But here is some verbatim text from that single page: >In this chapter we will show the basics of Nim language needs a "the" before Nim >(types, for loops, if and case statements, procedures, etc.) while using basic graphic primitives to create shapes needs a comma after the close parenthesis >The premise is that the `putPixel` proc exists and we can use it, ... "proc" is a nonstandard technical term that has not been defined properly yet >All we need to know is: that proc takes the x and y coordinate of a point ... colon should not be there, and it needs a "the" before "proc" In and of themselves these are fairly minor problems, but the whole book is like this. All are forgivable in say, a blog post, but this is a book I paid good money for. It's shoddy work, evincing a lack of care. Not to mention, the print quality is poor.
