Building a Text Adventure Using Rust
summary
Shows building a command-line text adventure in Rust, modeling rooms as a HashMap<i32, Room> with Room { title, description, transitions: Vec<i32> } and a Player holding a reference to the House; implements change_room returning Result to signal invalid moves and uses Vec::position to find transitions. Demonstrates Rust lifetimes (distinct 'a and 'b) and exposes the game as a REST service; workshop code is available on GitHub.
