Hey there, welcome back to my blog! 👋

If you're learning Rust and want to practice your skills I want to introduce you to 5 (more) practical projects that will help you in real-world projects. I wrote a few more similar articles, one for complete beginners, one for beginners and one for beginners to mid-level. This article is also for beginner to mid Rust devs and the focus is on building games! 🎯
