RustChap

RustChap teaches the Rust programming language the way Euclidea teaches geometry: through small puzzles with exact answers.

You do not type code on a phone keyboard. You tap tokens, reorder statements, and pick the best implementation. Every possible answer was compiled ahead of time with the real Rust compiler, so every verdict - compile error, test failure, or optimal solution - is the compiler's truth, not a quiz author's opinion.

- 15 decks following one arc: ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, slices, Option and Result, pattern matching, iterators, closures, traits, generics, smart pointers, interior mutability, API design, async, and unsafe.
- More than 60 puzzles, each teaching exactly one instinct. Match the star budget - like 0 clones in 2 edits - to earn the Optimal rank.
- 20 short lectures in plain English. Every deck opens with one.
- An AI tutor that knows the puzzle you are looking at. It runs on your device by default; nothing leaves your phone. Optionally use your own OpenRouter key for a cloud model.
- Fully offline. No account, no ads, no tracking, no server.

Built for experienced programmers who want Rust to feel like instinct.
