Icons

There is no point in hiding it - the icons module is really awesome! Icons behave just like shapes, but there are 995 of them, as the module allows you to use any of the free Font Awesome icons.

To use the module you have to import it first by writing import icons. This will let the Shrew know to prepare the awesome icons. For example, the following code paints a red truck:

To explore icons, you can visit the list on fontawesome.com. When using the icons in Code Shrew, change their names to CammelCase. For example, to use an icon named bowling-ball, write icons.BowlingBall().
