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.

What are things like SDL2, and OpenGL?
it shouldnt be, it uses opengl 3 which isnt deprecated (though after learnopengl.com, you should look at this https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions to learn the more modern way of using opengl) though bugs in opengl are usually kindof difficult to track down, one time i was certain everything was right but it was only a black screen, so i deleted all of the code and rewrote it exactly the same and it worked (100% just a silly mistake on my part though) as for the root_directory.h thing, without any context i cant really help you there

Learning opengl 4.6?
https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions probably has all you need to cover DSA features, but by itself you won't understand it - it basically just tells you how these modern functions replace older functions.
-
OpenGL learning tutorials
I personally think there are enough 3.3 tutorials out there, and that new ones should teach the modern paradigms introduced in OpenGL 4.X (DSA, immutable storage, sampler objects, vertex format, etc.). Basically, things mentioned in this post and this repo.
- Could only get the blue and red books for OpenGL 4.3
-
What is the best OpenGL version to start with right now?
but other than that, if you just target desktop computers, there is no reason to go lower than 4.6 or 4.5 - if some GPU doesn't support it, it's probably too old for intensive graphics anyway. Stick with 4.5+ as DSA is worth it.
-
Where do I go to learn more about MODERN modern OpenGL (e.g. 4.5/4.6)
This guide teaches some of the modern OpenGL functions (particularly DSA and VertexAttribFormat). https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions.
-
Can someone look at this example code I've written to make sure I'm utilizing two VAOs properly?
an alternative way would be DSA. Have a look here: https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions and example code here https://github.com/Fr3nchK1ss/OpenGL-4.6-Hello-Triangle
-
Is there an "Effective Modern C++" version of OpenGL?
Maybe that helps a bit. DSA is pretty straightforward. https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions . There is a lot more to modern OpenGL than just DSA. If you want to deep dive into modern rendering (and modern OpenGL) I can suggest https://www.amazon.de/Graphics-Rendering-Cookbook-comprehensive-algorithms/dp/1838986197/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=NLRU5UJZT0IH&keywords=modern+rendering+cookbook&qid=1649074763&sprefix=modern+rendering+cookbook%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1

Does reading glfw library Documents make me learn opengl?
and then https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions for an actually sane and nice way of working with OGL.

Making Small Games, Which Is Fun in Itself
I want to begin game development as a hobby, but I'm unsure where to start. I did follow through https://learnopengl.com/ a few years ago, and while it was a very interesting experience, I imagine I would need to use an existing engine to be productive.
Do you recommend any books and tutorials aimed at experienced programmers with 0 knowledge of game development/design?

Is there space in this field for extreme cases like mine ?
- Game development - Unity3D project based learning in C#: https://learn.unity.com/ - Graphics - There was another user on r/GraphicsProgramming the other day (who teaches Computer Graphics at his university) that linked their lecture series for the entry year of their course here: https://tamats.com/learn/realtime-graphics/ - Project based learning: https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki - Rendering API tutorials: https://vulkan-tutorial.com/, https://learnopengl.com/

Where do I start to learn C++ for a game development
If u want to make 3D game, you'll probably want to learn some 3D shader graphic stuff. OpenGL is a good start. https://learnopengl.com

Ask HN: Learn Graphics Programming, Recommendations?
LearnOpenGl.com
Possibly a smidge outdated.
Goes from blank window to rendering 3d meshes with advanced lighting techniques (HDR, SSAO and more).
Heped me understand shader pipeline, so I recommend it.

Is a bounding volume a mesh? (for visualization)
I'm reading the guest article about frustum culling on learnopengl.com and there's a video demonstrating how it works and for debug purposes they have a bunch of spheres turning red or green which I assume means they're being culled or not so my question is if I wanted to do this do I have to make a mesh for whatever bounding volume shape or is there a specific method for something like this?
