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.

    Also, is worth knowing when not to optimise. Code you can read is code you can maintain, and some optimisations are not as readable.

    This is one of my biggest pet peeves. So many people want to equate the number of lines as a sign of how well it’s programmed. But all they really do is chain a bunch of stuff together that makes it harder to debug.
