How to Continue from Here

Congratulations, if you made it this far!

You don't have a running snake game yet, but you learned almost everything you need to know to continue on your own.

Things you can do to continue with the game:

Implement

a function that clears the grid, so the moving square does not leave a trace.
a function that deals with the square moving out of the canvas by either
- wrapping (the square moves out of the canvas on one side then enters it on the other side again) or
- restarting the game.
the snack for the snake.
the snake growing when eating the snack.
the snake biting itself leading to a restart of the game.

Form a regular study group!
Go to a local Rust MeetUp to get help or learn new things.
Check out the book The Rust Programming Language to learn more and get a deeper and systematic understanding of the language.
Check out Rust by Example that illustrates various Rust concepts with running code examples.
Do Rustlings exercises.
Become a RustBridge Teaching Assistant the next time! You don't need to understand everything and you can learn so much when you're explaining things to others.
