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.

Unreasonably effective – How video games use LUTs and how you can too
- how it is computed: https://github.com/sylefeb/Silice/blob/master/projects/ice-v...
Julia fractal, with a table to do integer multiply! (2.a.b = (a+b)^2 - a^2 - b^2, so just precompute all x^2 in a table! )

Another World Ported to FPGA
For anyone confused by the HDL, it's the authors custom language: https://github.com/sylefeb/Silice/tree/master
It provides a compiler to Verilog that then can be fed to traditional design flows.

An addressable little explored language gap: HDL - Hardware Description Languages, any language used for electronic circuit design, description, and specs
Have a look at Silice, it's brilliant.

How to contribute to open source?
I'm an intern at a french IT lab and my boss is working on an open-source FPGA language, you might want to check it out https://github.com/sylefeb/Silice .

Sine tables are also very typical, for animating things on screen or plain

Running Quake on an FPGA (Custom MRISC32 CPU) [video]
Very, very impressive works, both MRISC32 and FuryGPU (which I just learned about, love the idea of a FPGA-retro-GPU that could go in a modern computer!). It's hard to overstate the amount of passion, care and technical expertise that go into such projects.
I'm the author of 'q5k' (Quake viewer in 5K LUTs) and so I wanted to say Hi to my fellow Quake-on-FPGA enthusiasts. Thanks for the mention, and looking forward to the next steps of your projects!
PS: Q5k is of course much, much slower (runs on a small $10 ice40 up5k FPGA), and only a viewer. The renderer is custom using fixed-point only. Unlikely I'll be ever able to run the full game at any decent speed, but I'm surely going to try :) For anyone interested, here's the repo of q5k and doomchip-onice: https://github.com/sylefeb/tinygpus
