This program should run a game of life simulation and display the "playground" in your terminal window every 100ms (see above)

with rustup installed go into the project folder and execute

$ cargo run --release

cargo should then

• download needed dependencies
• compile everything with optimizations ("--release")
• run the program

Cargo's build command compiles the project and puts it into a target directory. The release version gets put into target/release, the normal version (without --release) is put into target/debug. Those binaries can be run directly as well.

Cargo.toml is the package's configuration file. Here the name of the project, dependencies and build options are specified.

cargo is Rust's build system and package manager. Useful commands are

• cargo check: perform basic compiler checks)
• cargo build: compile the project - use --release for optimized release version
• cargo run: compile project and execute it - --release also works here.

There exist numerous additional commands that can be installed as well.
