  1. Great article! Helped me a lot.

    I think I found one error:

    // this is same as
    // type direction = ‘UP’ | ‘DOWN’ | ‘LEFT’ | ‘RIGHT’;
    type direction = keyof typeof Direction;

    The comment should be:
    // type direction = ‘Up’ | ‘Down’ | ‘Left’ | ‘Right’;

  2. Hello Matt, yes thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you found the post helpful. We will update the comment as soon as possible. Thanks again
