Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- ASFML v2.5.5 (Ada binding to SFML) has been released with an upgrade to CSFML 2.5.2 and improved API documentation
-
ADA for reliable 2D game
Unfortunately, Ada is not used for professional game development, but it will probably help a single developer to develop a bug-free game more than C++. For a 2D game, one good option as toolkit is the binding to SFML.
- Ada Library vs Project
-
Audio Library for Ada
Have you followed the instructions in ASFML to make it work? The easiest way is to import the library using Alire.

What Did You Work On in 2021?
I resurrected an abandoned binding to SFML and updated it to version 2.5. I finally made so many changes to the Ada API, that I can consider it my own work, and have the joy to see it used by other people.

December 2021 What Are You Working On?
A new bugfix release of ASFML: https://github.com/mgrojo/ASFML/releases/tag/v2.5.2
-
Which GUI for an Ada desktop application do you recommend?
Since we're talking about a game, ASFML might be a good option.

Ada For Game Development
I maintain a binding to SFML: https://github.com/mgrojo/ASFML

ASFML v2.5 released
The Ada binding to the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library has released a new version compatible with SFML v2.5.
- Are there any open source Ada projects?

October 2022 What Are You Working On?
Submitted libtcl and libtk externals to Alire’s 1.2.1 index - all problems fixed, I hope.

Ada Programming Language
I do not know the exact rationale of the Alire devs, but Ada already uses (since 83) the word "package" to indicate a module or namespace, so calling dependencies a "crate" seems to avoid confusion with an Ada "package".
The crates of the community index [1] are somewhat vetted because they are added to the index using a PR on GitHub. You're not required to use these external crates though, you can create your own monorepo if you want.
My personal experience has been that a package manager (for any language) makes it much easier to download and build some project.

ASFML v2.5 released
Yes you can specify dependency on external libraries that will be provided by the distribution (or msys2 on WIndows). We already have a few of those in the index, for instance you can take a look at SDL2: https://github.com/alire-project/alire-index/blob/stable-1.0/index/li/libsdl2/libsdl2-external.toml
