Here are some fun projects to practice your Rust programming skills, ranging from easy to hard:
1. Hello World: Start with the classic "Hello World" program. Get a feel for how to write, compile, and run a Rust program.
2. Command-Line Calculator: Create a simple command-line calculator that can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
3. Text Adventure Game: Create a text-based adventure game where the player makes decisions that affect the outcome of the game.
4. Rust Web Crawler: Write a web crawler that can scrape information from websites and store it in a data structure.
5. Rust Game Engine: Create a simple game engine in Rust that can be used to develop 2D games.
6. Concurrent File Downloader: Write a program that can download multiple files concurrently, taking advantage of Rust's support for concurrency.
7. Rust Reverse Proxy: Create a reverse proxy that can route incoming requests to different servers based on their URLs.
8. Rust Database: Implement a database in Rust, using a relational or NoSQL database engine.

Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process of learning and improving your Rust skills!<|im_end|>

Alright. But could you please give me some starter code for a snake game written in Rust?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Here's some starter code for a snake game written in Rust:

```
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
use termion::clear;
use termion::cursor;
use termion::raw::IntoRawMode;

struct Snake {
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

impl Snake {
    fn new() -> Self {
        Snake { x: 0, y: 0 }
    }

    fn move_left(&mut self) {
        self.x -= 1;
    }

    fn move_right(&mut self) {
        self.x += 1;
    }

    fn move_up(&mut self) {
        self.y -= 1;
    }

    fn move_down(&mut self) {
        self.y += 1;
    }
}

fn main() {
    let stdout = std::io::stdout().into_raw_mode().unwrap();
    let mut snake = Snake::new();

    loop {
        println!("{}{}O", cursor::Goto(snake.x, snake.y), clear::CurrentLine);
        thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));
        snake.move_right();
    }
}
```
This code uses the termion library to interact with the terminal and display the snake. The Snake struct represents the snake, and its move_left, move_right, move_up, and move_down methods change its position. The main loop of the game updates the display and moves the snake to the right. You can modify the code to add more functionality, such as user input, food, and collision detection, to make a full-fledged snake game.<|im_end|>
