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.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
Halo was mostly all about single player and early multiplayer/local multiplayer but their online netcode has sucked since Blood Gulch. Lots of games do networking horribly, I have been in gamedev making networking and I hate most of what people do. The ones that have a clean natting, based on enet style reliable UDP channels, RakNet style punch are better (RakNet was good until Facebook bought it). It has come a long way but also fallen back. Valve source netcode (on github) is probably the best and you can check it out here. They started with the best in Quake networking, then to Source.

Multiplayer Networking Solutions
Raknet No longer worked on but from what I've read, it's complete and working. It has been used in many games between 2000 - 2010

Making a multiplayer server
Inconsistencies can be prevented by ensuring the server handles all operations and does so in a given order, then transmits the results to clients. I wrote a little about this for my game Avoyd a long while ago. Clients (including a client running the server) send an edit request via reliable ordered UDP (e.g. using Enet, Raknet, Steam Networking etc.) and the server places these in a single queue then performs the edits and sends the results back also using reliable ordered UDP.

[Discussion] What are some old C++ open source projects you wish were still active?
RakNet. It's been forked but still not that active.

Multiplayer Networking Solutions
KCP Is a kind of protocol ( like UDP and TCP ) that is reliable like TCP but is faster, at to cost of slightly bigger bandwidth costs.

How feasible is this idea? Creating a battery run audio transmitter and receiver over TCP/IP
I'd consider KCP protocol over TCP, it has 30-40% lower latency at the expense of 20% higher bandwidth.
