What are some fun projects I can use to teach myself Rust?
I’m currently going through the process of teaching myself Rust as a fun summer project, especially since it’s different enough from the Java/Spring stack I use at work regularly. What are some interesting projects I can work on in Rust to get some familiarity with how the language works, and get an idea of some of the libraries I can use with it?
You're viewing a single thread.
If you're not opposed to books and have an interest in gamedev as well, then maybe give Hands-on Rust a shot. After some basics, it covers building a dungeon crawler (roguelike).
Admittedly, I own a copy but I haven't had the chance to go through it yet. I've heard positive things about it, though. Might start soon, wanting to get more in-depth with Rust myself recently.
Huh that's a pretty solid looking book. I did a quick glance through the chapter list online, and there is a fair amount of content in that. A solid book like that may be good for me to check out as well
The same author also has a free tutorial here. The ECS library used in it is a bit dated, and it's a good idea to follow the tutorial but use a more modern one (like hecs, or bevy_ecs if you're feeling more comfortable in rust)
