The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

- An Arduino sketch I wrote to display Conway's Game of Life on a PyPortal. The touchscreen allows the manual activation of cells. Code in comments.
- I finally finished my LED matrix 'Game of life'. It Looks good on my shelf.
- Any suggestions what to put on my pixelbox? So far I have many adjusted examples from the FastLED library and some sprites. Any cool animations i can download and put on here to impress my guests? 😏
- [WIP] PhotoLife - Conway's Game of Life, in a Photoframe, on an Arduino Nano, using 12x MAX7219 blocks in a 3x4 array

LED blink, no delay(), one line of code
And already used one of in my projects: https://github.com/jackmachiela/PhotoLife

What's cool about this project is that the array of MAX7219 blocks are not arranged in the usual long line but in a proper rectangle. Github user matdombrock modified his MatrixGL library just for this purpose. https://github.com/matdombrock/MatrixGL/
