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.

- Konilo: A personal computing system in Forth

Building a Game for an Imaginary Game Console, Based on an Imaginary CPU
this project reminds me a bit of one of my old projects; a forth VM and development toolchain: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/Mako
-
Lisp in Forth
On a related note, here's a Logo interpreter I implemented many years ago using a dialect of Forth: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/Mako/blob/master/demos/Loko/L...

8-bit stack-machine emulated by 200 lines of C
Some similarities to one of my old projects, MakoVM:
https://github.com/JohnEarnest/Mako
It is also Forth-based, and has an ecosystem of interesting little games, programs, and libraries. The CPU, GPU, and other IO facilities fit in a little over 200 lines of Java:

- Mako is a portable stack-based virtual game console

Forth: Stack-Manipulation Operators
Incidentally, a couple of weeks ago I wrote a tiny Star Wars-themed Forth program to celebrate Star Wars Day: https://github.com/susam/may4
Forth brings back the fun in computing for me that I once experienced when I began learning to code with Logo. Simple, distraction-free, and fun!
"I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun." -- Alan J. Perlis
