n00b running the app for the first time

I've never tried Rust before and your app looked like a good gateway...

It started compiling with all greens until it hit....

I tried updating the cargo.toml to...

ggez = "0.5"
rand = "0.7.3"

...which got me 300/301 of the install but then all hell broke loose.

Hey,

sorry for the late reply. This project is currently on hiatus and I imagine there were a lot of changes in the used libraries in the past years. I will update the README accordingly. The official "The Rust Programming Language" was a great entry point and a quick look suggests it still is.

All the best for your further Rust adventures.

Thanks for the update - it's almost better that its broken and gives one a nice puzzle to reassemble one day. Also excellent recommendation to start with the official guide - I definitely need to something simple - this is too much rocket science right now.

Just curious - are you actually using Rust in your day job - and if so - can you briefly tell me what for?
