Duke University's: RUST Fundamentals on Coursera

-

I recently started Duke University's Rust Fundamentals course on Coursera.  The course lasts 4 weeks and covers several topics. It is taught by Noah Gift who has several classes on the Coursera that I am interested in taking over the next year. The classes that I am particularly interested in are those related to Python, Rust, and Linux.

Yesterday, I encountered problems installing Rust on Linux (Ubuntu).  The problems were related to the following code:

    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

As I needed to install curl, I ran the following command:

    sudo snap install curl

This led to several errors. After much searching on the internet, I discovered that I needed to stall curl without using snap. Instead, I installed curl using:

    sudo apt install curl.

After this, I was successfully able to install Rust.

Space wars - Python 3 This is my first version of Space Wars  in Python 3 using C. Thomson's ideas and Turtle. I made this a few weeks ago but am only getting around to post it today.  It doesn't have any sound. CT developed his program on the Mac.  However, the sound code doesn't work with windows.  The program was developed using Turtle. I am using Python's turtle module to develop games now. I play to start with Pygame before the end of the year.

This is my first attempt at a maze game in Python. The white squares are the walls and the blue circle is the first player. I will continue on with the game and post the final version.  After learning how to make basic games in Python using Turtle, I plan to move on to making simple games using Pygame.
