Trait Game 

pub trait Game {
    // Required methods
    fn new(args: Args) -> Self;
    fn start(&mut self);
    fn do_loop(&mut self) -> Result<i32, Box<dyn Error>>;
    fn finish(self);
}

Default methods for a terminal-based game.

Required Methods

fn new(args: Args) -> Self

Used to transform the arguments, if any, into the game object.

fn start(&mut self)

Starts the game. This is called once at the beginning by the mint_cli.

fn do_loop(&mut self) -> Result<i32, Box<dyn Error>>

What should be done in a loop. This is called in a loop by the mint_cli until an error occurs, or a code other than GAME_ONGOING is returned.

fn finish(self)

Finishes the game. Anything to be cleaned up/done once at the end of the game loop should be done here.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
