6 min readConcurrency in Rust can be handled using a combination of ownership and borrowing rules, as well as tools provided by the standard library like threads, channels, and locks. Rust's ownership system ensures that only one thread can access a data at a time, preventing data races and concurrency issues.To handle concurrency in Rust, you can use threads to execute multiple pieces of code simultaneously.

3 min readTo start a round of Jenga, begin by setting up the tower by stacking the wooden blocks in rows of three, alternating the direction of each layer. Once the tower is built, players take turns removing one block at a time from any level except the top three rows. The removed block is then placed on top of the tower, creating a more unsteady structure. The game continues in this manner until the tower collapses, with the player responsible for causing the collapse losing the game.

7 min readIn Rust, a module is a way to organize code by grouping related functionality together. To create a module, you simply use the mod keyword followed by the name of the module in a separate file or within the same file. For example, you can create a module named utils by declaring mod utils in a separate file or in the same file where you want to define the module.To use modules in Rust, you can define functions, types, and other items within the module.

5 min readTo set up and play Don't Break the Ice, first lay out the game board on a flat surface. Insert all the ice blocks into the tray so they form a solid sheet of ice. Each player takes turns using the ice pick to tap out one ice block at a time without causing the penguin figure to fall through the ice. The game continues until the penguin falls through the ice, and the player who caused the penguin to fall loses the game.

7 min readTo use Rust's standard library, simply add use std:: followed by the desired module or type. Rust's standard library is organized into various modules, providing functionality covering data structures, I/O operations, concurrency, networking, and more. By utilizing the standard library, developers can implement common tasks and operations without having to reinvent the wheel. The Rust standard library is well-documented, making it easy to understand and use effectively in projects.

5 min readIn The Game of Life Junior, players take turns spinning the spinner and moving their car token along the game board. The number indicated on the spinner determines how many spaces the player can move their token. Players must follow the path along the game board, encountering different spaces where they may need to make decisions or complete challenges. The ultimate goal is to reach the end of the game board with the most money and collected stars to win the game.

5 min readIn Rust, dependencies are managed using a package manager called Cargo. Crates are the basic unit of code reuse in Rust, similar to packages in other programming languages.To use a crate in your Rust project, you need to add it as a dependency in your project's Cargo.toml file. You can specify the crate name and version in the [dependencies] section of the Cargo.toml file.When you build your Rust project, Cargo will automatically download and build the specified dependencies.

4 min readTo play Trouble, each player takes turns pressing the Pop-O-Matic bubble to roll the dice and move their colored pieces around the board. The goal is to move all of your pieces from the starting point to the finish line before your opponents. However, players must be careful, as they can be sent back to the starting point if an opponent's piece lands on the same space as theirs. Roll a 6 to get a piece out of the starting area and onto the board.

4 min readIn Rust, command-line arguments can be processed using the std::env module. The args() function of this module returns an iterator that allows you to access the command-line arguments passed to the program.To access the command-line arguments, you can use the collect() function to convert the iterator into a vector of strings. You can then iterate over this vector to process each argument individually.You can also use the env::var() function to access environment variables passed to the program.

6 min readTo set up and play Hi Ho! Cherry-O, the first step is to clean and assemble the game board and spinner. Each player then chooses a colored basket and places it on their side of the board. The player who spins the highest number goes first.On their turn, a player spins the spinner and picks the corresponding number of cherries from their tree and places them in their basket. The goal is to fill your basket with 10 cherries first to win the game.
