I’m trying to make minesweeper using rust and bevy, but it feels that my code is bloated (a lot of for loops, segments that seem to be repeating themselves, etc.)

When I look at other people’s code, they are using functions that I don’t really understand (map, zip, etc.) that seem to make their code faster and cleaner.

I know that I should look up the functions that I don’t understand, but I was wondering where you would learn stuff like that in the first place. I want to learn how to find functions that would be useful for optimizing my code.

    In case others want to get into 18.404j, but don’t have the prerequisite knowledge, I made a pretty complete graph of all available MIT courses (at least until 2023) and linked them as a left-to-right dependency graph:

    Just search for 18.404j - it’s an SVG, so search works.
