Render 2D graphics in Rust by adding the macroquad dependency and using its draw functions within an async main loop.

Use the macroquad crate to render 2D graphics in Rust with minimal boilerplate. Add the dependency to your Cargo.toml and run the following code to create a window and draw a red rectangle:

[dependencies]
macroquad = "0.4"

use macroquad::prelude::*;

#[macroquad::main("2D Graphics")]
async fn main() {
    loop {
        clear_background(WHITE);
        draw_rect(100.0, 100.0, 200.0, 200.0, RED);
        next_frame().await;
    }
}
