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.

Source code for Quake 2 rerelease
> Glad to see the source code released!
In case you were unaware, this is actually the source code of the rerelease of Quake II. The source code for the original Quake II has been released for many years[0], along with many of the id Software classics[1].

[1]: https://github.com/id-Software
- Someone dropped the source code for Far Cry 1 on archive.org
- I fully support this.
-
What are some source codes to have read, and why?
I really enjoyed reading the Quake and Quake 2 source code, personally https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-2
- Ask HN: What piece of code/codebase blew your mind when you saw it?
-
What would you have gotten once you licensed the Quake engine in the late 90s?
Does ID provide you the full source code (as it is now on Github)?
- What was the "old," way of doing 3D graphics before shaders? (fixed function pipelines and such)
- are there tutorials for code organization for games in C?
- Interesting Halo 3 script comments.
-
If you license your code as GPL, and Assets as CC-BY-NC-SA, what license do you then use for the compiled binary?
There's nothing stopping your from putting your code under GPL and your assets under copyright (no permissive license) or public domain. Code and assets don't need to be under the same license. See how id did it:

How to comply with OSS licenses without declaring which libraries you used?
The Bethesda representative said that they do not publish which OSS libraries they use but that they comply with any notice requirements. I admit, the claim on my side is somewhat thin, but there is one third party library (Base64.cpp) in DOOM 3 BFG that requires notice and states:
-
Where is Bethesda hiding their third party notices?
Even idTech 3 used third party components as listed in the description here: https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM-3-BFG. Newer versions of idTech use Vulkan for rendering. For that, they are basically forced to included the header files of Vulkan which are licensed under Apache 2. So it has to be mentioned somewhere.

Initialization in Modern C++ (295 pages)
I guess you can still write valuable software, even more complex than most people can write, with simple (03) C++. Like Doom 3: https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM-3-BFG
> What you are describing
On the other hand, I believe what you are describing is the exact meaning of FUD. In that precise order: "in C++ they have serious consequences" is fear, "There are bugs in the code--probably in your code--right now" is uncertainty, and "Some might be CVEs" is doubt.

You can play Doom 3 in a web browser

Question about certain games
Doom 3 was released in 2004. The engine has come to be known as "Id Tech 4", and it's open source. Written mostly in C++, looks like.
- How advance is the code in the average game?
-
Which piece of software you wish it was open source?
Id Tech 4 is currently Open Source (GPL licensed)
- Need help finding resources for id Tech 4(Doom 3 engine)
-
Greatest programs
I believe doom 3 source is published on github so people can have a look for themselves if they want.
-
Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
Doom 3 is a perennial favorite for "most beautiful C++ codebase" lists [0]
