Rust is an exciting programming language that combines the power of C with modern memory safety, efficient concurrency, and various productivity boosters. With its low-level memory access and high-level support of functional programming, Rust improves power and performance while providing protection against common bugs.

In this course, you’ll learn Rust with a hands-on, project-based approach through game development. You’ll be introduced to Rust as you design and build a complete, playable game. You’ll start with a development environment in Cargo before exploring Rust’s core functions and building a variable data array. With this knowledge, you’ll build a complete game with player management, scorekeeping, and the various modules of a dungeon crawler.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to capture data, use it to build loops into your code that drive the game engine, update objects, and procedurally generate maps. You’ll have a hands-on understanding of Rust.
