6 min readTo set up and play Operation, first open the game board and lay out all the pieces. Choose a player to go first. The player must use the tweezers to carefully remove a body part piece from the game board without touching the sides of the opening. If the tweezers touch the sides, the player will hear a buzzing sound and lose their turn.The player must successfully remove the body part piece and collect the corresponding money amount shown on the game board.

4 min readIn Rust, iterators are a powerful tool for working with collections of data. Iterators allow you to work with sequences of elements in a functional and efficient way.To work with iterators in Rust, you typically use the iter() method to create an iterator over a collection, such as a vector or an array. You can then use methods like map(), filter(), and collect() to manipulate and consume the elements in the iterator.

7 min readIn the game of Twister, players take turns spinning a spinner that determines which body part and which color of circle they need to place on the mat. To move in Twister, players must follow the directions on the spinner and place the designated body part on the matching colored circle without falling or touching the mat with any other body parts.

5 min readA closure is a way to create anonymous functions in Rust. Closures can capture variables from the surrounding environment and store them for later use. To define a closure, you can use the |args| body syntax, where args are the arguments the closure takes and body is the code that the closure executes.Closures in Rust can also be stored in variables and passed as arguments to other functions. They can enclose variables from the surrounding scope by capturing them with the move keyword.

5 min readGuess Who? is a two-player guessing game where players must try to identify the other player's mystery character. Each player has a gameboard with a grid of faces on it, and they must take turns asking yes or no questions to narrow down which character the other player has chosen.Players can ask questions about physical features such as hair color, eye color, gender, or accessories. For example, a player might ask "Does your character have brown hair.

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.
