+# Snake.rs
+
+A very simple snake clone writting in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) using [SDL2](http://www.libsdl.org/).
+
+It's also a bit flashy.
+
+---
+
+To build the project, use the typical, super complicated rust build steps:
+
+```
+cargo run
+```
+
+---
+
+Thanks for the inspiration to [Mirabellensaft](https://github.com/Mirabellensaft) who created [Rusty Snake Book](https://github.com/rustbridge/Rusty-Snake-Book) as a tutorial for the [RustBridge Berlin workshop](https://berlin.rustbridge.com/events/nov-2019).
