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.

Yes, but can it run Empire for the -10?

The oldest program source I still have is Empire written in Fortran-10 for the DecSystem 10, circa 1978 or so.

I thought backing it up using github was a good idea.
A modern version that will run on Windows can be obtained from:

Found a program I wrote in 1981 and decided to bring it back to life
As a mostly (ancient!) hobbyist programmer - so take my views as a bit grumpy - we seem to have developed such complex toolchains and frameworks, that the industry suffers from 'goldfish bowl' syndrome in that the IDEs and tools have grown in complexity and size to fit the complexity we've created (that's a bit recursive!).
I know it's a crude comparison, but consider the likes of installing Turbo Pascal and a few libraries ('units') from back in the day with what I had to go through to setup the vscode-based toolchain on Linux for the Raspberry Pi Pico, which required me to fudge a script: https://github.com/linker3000/Pico-setup/blob/main/pico_setu..., and I almost gave up trying to follow various instructions to get an IDE running under WSL due to various quirks and changes which made the online instructions out of date or missing key tweaks.
I even approach platformio with a degree of trepidation for fear that a bucket-load of stuff will need to be updated before the odd bit of code I've hacked together will compile this time round.
Perhaps if you've grown up during the mainstream days of Eclipse, Platformio etc., their appearance and behaviour are just second nature and I'm just looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses! Oh well, back to configure and make - I can handle that!
What are some alternatives?
