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.

The Ultimate Cross-Platform Rendering Engine?
Diligent Engine: They say their engine is the successor of bgfx, but I'm not rly into that topic.
-
Collecting the best C++ practices
Diligent Engine. A Modern Cross-Platform Low-Level 3D Graphics Library and Rendering Framework Tweet.
- Good repos for beginners to browse that follow best modern C++ practices (including testing, static analysis etc...)

What is a good absolutely minimalist game/rendering engine?

A Rant on Developers
I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.
-
Is the bgfx library any good?
Im a big fan of the Diligent Engine myself. Its at roughly the same abstraction layer as bgfx.
-
The current state of GPU API's and why I wish V-EZ hadn't died.
If you're looking for something like bgfx but a bit lower level and targeting only modern GPUs, you might want to check out Diligent Engine.
I like the DiligentEngine myself. Either one will work fine.
-
Game engine for programmars
I use the Diligent Engine and have custom code to do config, resource management, etc.

Unified Shader Programming in C++
If you have relatively new GL, this one is good: https://diligentgraphics.com/diligent-engine/

nanovg VS nitro-gl - a user suggested alternative

2D graphics lib recommendation?
I use nanovg for my projects and it works surprisingly well for its size. It integration is pretty simple .... if you know a little bit of OpenGL, otherwise there is a slight learning curve.

minimax — minimalist 3D game engine in Clojure
The "engine" is built on top of amazing https://www.lwjgl.org/ and https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx/, and UI system is baked by https://github.com/memononen/nanovg and https://github.com/facebook/yoga

W4 Games formed to strengthen Godot ecosystem
NanoVG is the closest thing I came across when I had a similar quesiton: https://github.com/memononen/NanoVG
unfortunately it doesn't seem like it's getting steady updates now unlike the last time I checked. But I imagine it's pretty mature at this point. There also seem to be ports in Metal/DX11 if you didn't want to be stuck in OpenGL.

Why are there so little Skia recources?
Also there's NanoVG if you really want a vector api in C, but don't need anti-aliased clipping.

Advice for the next dozen Rust GUIs
Getting sufficient antialiasing quality for 2D graphics is difficult on GPUs. https://github.com/memononen/nanovg accomplishes this with GL2/GLES2 level hardware for most of the stuff one would want to render as part of a GUI. My project https://github.com/styluslabs/nanovgXC supports rendering arbitrary paths with exact coverage antialiasing, but requires GLES3.1 or GL4 level hardware for reasonable performance.

Ask HN: Modern Alternatives to C
> to learn the 'nuts and bolts' of rendering
These nuts and bolts are very different between CPU and GPU. CPU-based libraries are painting pixels in bitmaps in system memory. Most GPU-based libraries are uploading indexed triangle meshes, and rendering them with weird shaders.
Worse, there're no good open source implementations of GPU-based ones. Microsoft ships an implementation as a part of OS (Direct2D) but it's not open source. Linux simply doesn't have an equivalent.
At least for initial versions, consider C interop with this https://github.com/memononen/nanovg It cuts a few corners (no cleartype for text, CPU overhead for repeated rendering of same static paths) but it's still good overall, simple, and easy to use.
> My only concern with C# is the cross compatibility
Works well on Linux, Windows and OSX, including ARM CPUs. Not sure about Android and iOS, never tested.
My largest concern with C# would be performance. Technically the language allows to code in any style, but most guides and examples are using OO-heavy one.

Any good video tutorials on making a OS with a GUI?
In fact, if using a modern graphics pipeline with shaders, you will actually have to learn how to draw a single rectangle to your screen, and then use that knowledge to draw (anti-aliased) lines, rectangles, arcs, circles, ellipses, etc. too. For instance, have a look at https://www.cairographics.org/ https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear https://github.com/memononen/nanovg and https://github.com/nical/lyon. There are probably also tutorials on how to draw vectorized graphics using OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.
