Hi @SpyR1014 is there a specific reason this doesn't run on a mac.
Here is the error I've been getting.

Thanks for pointing this out @JeanAbayo. I didn't test on mac so don't know why that error is occurring.
Are you using the most up to date Rust, and/or nightly Rust?

Are you able to get the basic code working? I fear there is an error in the winit library.

maybe just in windows ？

tried it on Windows but it just shows the screen for a few seconds then dies with "Congratulations" message

it just flashes and terminates by popping out the congratulations message on ubuntu.

Unsure what is going on. But I now recommend checking out GGEZ and their snake example: https://github.com/ggez/ggez/blob/master/examples/04_snake.rs

There is also amethyst: https://github.com/amethyst/amethyst

I don't know how to push commit to GitHub Gist, so I just put link for tweaked version here: https://gist.github.com/640f17e2e92b5d7db5002b84b662deed.git

Although there is a LOT of room for improvement, I decided to fix the very minimum so that the code does not differ much from the one shown in the video. What I did:

• updated dependencies;
• removed redundant imports;
• removed extern(s) (not needed after 2015 edition, I believe);
• a couple of naming and formatting fixes;
• fixes in a couple of places with changed API.

If @AndrewJakubowicz "merge" it here, I'll delete my gist.

please tell me the dependencies. It doesn't work for me

Hi @SpyR1014 is there a specific reason this doesn't run on a mac. Here is the error I've been getting.

Hi, (I'm only a beginner in Rust programming, but i got intermediate knowledge in Rust). You said that the code isn't running, and you've gotten that error, As i can see in your terminal the code panicked at window.rs at line number 13 in main.rs "extern crate opengl_graphics;" which i think is the cause, so maybe opengl. I don't know the exact cause of the problem but that's worth to find out.

Suprisingly enough, it runs on mine, and i'm running this Rust compiler version(rustc version) rustc 1.70.0 (90c541806 2023-05-31). Not important, but I run Endeavour OS cassini nova, Based on Arch
