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.

Is BC6H (COMPRESSED_RGB_BPTC_UNSIGNED_FLOAT_ARB) supported on Silicon Macs?
There's this repo which gives you OpenGL 4.6 thru Metal mappings https://github.com/openglonmetal/MGL
- Zink brings conformant OpenGL on Imagination GPUs
-
macOS OpenGL?
There is this github project that may help as a starting point to develop your code against https://github.com/openglonmetal/MGL but note it does say:
-
What is the best OpenGL version for cross platform application?
MacOS: GL 4.1 or use OpenGL 4.6 on Metal
- I want to talk about WebGPU
-
Opinion for graphic api's?
There is this https://github.com/openglonmetal/MGL which could give you OpenGL 4.6 over metal.
- Can I work on OpenGL with Mac M1 ?
- Mac + opengl
-
Using Metal framework
Are you sure about that? AFAIK OpenGL up to 4.1 is still supported on OSX. For anything higher there is also this project: https://github.com/openglonmetal/MGL
- How is Vulkan supposed to supersede OpenGL in practice?

Lag Is Never Where You Want It... Or Don't Want It
Reading ebiten docs and source code they very clearly state that writing RGBA bytes to an image is slow, and shouldn't really be done every frame, at least many times per frame. This is where I thought my performance was being lost, and it sent me looking for answers for ages. Turns out, I was wrong and right.

Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners
I love Go, yet I've never thought of it as a language with usable game engines. I'm extremely happy to find I was very wrong about that!
I'm woefully behind the curve on compiling to WASM, though, and I've yet to experiment much with tinygo so I have no idea how far I would get in creating a game people could enjoy in a browser without having to download a big bundle of assets. It's reassuring to see WASM mentioned explicitly as a compilation target [1] by Ebitengine though.

Ho did/do you remove cgo?
For other OSes, see https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/issues/1162
-
Is there a love2d for c++?
What about learning Go with Ebiten? Or Rust with Bevy?
-
What would be the closest thing to Unity/Unreal C#/C++ for Go to create games/animations/visual work?
Actually, there is a game engine in Go. Ebiten(gine) is actually really popular and has already been used for a few games in production
-
How complex/big can I make games in Go?
Check out this thread, some of the linked repositories might be of help. https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/discussions/1527

Mac + opengl
I noticed a similar issue when I got my MBP with the framebuffer not matching the window size and this has to do with the DPI settings. This GitHub link helped me understand the issue better and I hope it can be of assistance to you https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/pull/1811

crten - a small tool to view your pixel art with a CRT screen effect
This program also demonstrates how great Ebitengine is and how you can port GLSL shaders to it almost 1 to 1.
