Learning Rust by building Tetris: my favorite childhood game

2023-10-03

Play tetris 2-player mode in the terminal

After completing the Rust book and working through rustlings, I found myself standing at the crossroads, wondering where to go next. It was then that I had an idea - a project that would allow me to apply my newfound knowledge and create something meaningful. My favorite childhood game, Tetris, became the inspiration for my next coding adventure.

Throughout this project, I gained invaluable insights, including:

Crafting a cross platform CLI application with crossterm
Establishing communication between two machines through TcpStream
Achieving thread synchronization using Barrier
Effectively passing data between threads utilizing mpsc::channel
…

PS: I am currently seeking a new remote software engineering opportunity with a focus on backend development. My flexibility extends accommodating time zones within a range of +/- 3 hours from ICT (Indochina Time). If you have any information regarding companies or positions that are actively hiring for such roles, I would greately approciate it if you can kindly leave a comment or get in touch. Your assistance is sincerely valued. Thank you.
