+# Hello Pixels
+
+![Hello Pixels](../../img/minimal-winit.png)
+
+Minimal example with `winit`.
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+cargo run --release --example minimal-winit
+```
+
+## About
+
+This example demonstrates the absolute minimum for creating a `winit` window and pixel buffer. It animates a purple box moving on a blue background, just for _something_ interesting to display.
+
+It uses `winit_input_helper` to provide a slightly better code presentation, but it doesn't greatly reduce the number of lines in the example.
