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.

I made a proof of concept 2.5d engine (Download in comments)
This uses the "Voxel Space algorithm" used in 1992s Comanche to get a faux 3d terrain. Based on the code from here with some optimizations to get a reasonable FPS.

Voxel Space Engine: Comanche Terrain Rendering
Reminds me of this: https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace
Another implementation to play around with here; this one's not DOS but web based though.

The Genius of Binary Space Partitioning in Doom
I'm reminded of the render algorithm in Comanche, the 1992 video game [0]. I find it remarkably ingenious, and it certainly felt incredible at the time.

Infinite procedural terrain generated in Godot3D
The heightmap I've been manipulating may also be familiar to you, but not for the same reason, because it's terrain data of Mt. Fuji. I'm thinking of heightmap files instead of infinite noise, mixing the perks of ray-based rendering insights with a manageable early-'90s-style aesthetic and conventional level design. An erosion simulation could be preprocessed with a seamless OOB margin in that context too.

Voxel space and WGPU troubles
I wrote a voxel space implementation in Rust some time ago using SFML, and now am trying to move it to WGPU in order to learn how GPUs work better and perhaps solve a horizontal lines glitch I've got.

Voxel rendering using pixel columns.
Recently, I’ve been getting into voxel rendering, and I’ve been thinking of a way of extending the voxel space algorithm. https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace

Descent 3 Source Code
Try not to read too much into that, the MIT license was in the original blank repo I started with. There are a few questions I need to get answered, so the lack of that file doesn't necessarily mean anything about the license. The previous Descent 1&2 releases were under the license seen here, I would expect that at minimum (minimum permissibility-wise):
https://github.com/OpenSourcedGames/Descent-2
I'm hoping the owners will be able to agree to MIT, but we're doing due diligence right now.
