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.

SDL vs Unreal
Code base really small because it develop by solo developer with help from some volunteer contibutors. Support DirectX12 and Vulkan. There is editor for edit and save scene file but it's not finish yet so you have to mostly add features that you want by yourself beside rendering part. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

If you DON'T use UE/Unity what is your workflow
I just ran across the Wicked Engine yesterday. It's C++, cross-platform, MIT licensed and works with both DX12 and Vulkan. I had missed it in numerous searches I had done previously, so raising it here as it seems to be easy to miss.

A Rant on Developers
I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.

Engines used in the most popular Steam games of 2020
If you want to make your own engine but you need modern advance graphic features out of box. I think Wicked Engine is a good choice. https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine

Show HN: Checkers Twist – The game Checkers/Draughts/Dames on an irregular grid
- some corners will connect less than 4 tiles. This does the opposite of the previous point, as this removes diagonals. This limits your moves in a specific direction, but can also protect you from your opponents. It's the kind of features that can be used both as a defense and as attack.
And the boards are procedurally generated, so you can play unique games each time (or you can re-use the same boards if you like). It is done with my engine Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com/ ), and if you're curious about how the grid is built, here is an example scene you can play with: https://polygonjs.com/gui/irregular_quad_relaxation/edit .
The game is not free on Steam/iOS, but the demo has no time limit, it just gives you a handful of boards to play with.
I hope that's fun!

On the importance to make games during the game engine's development
That's the path I took with Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com ), and a game I've just released ( https://polyreplay.com/minesweepertwist ), with more coming shortly.
But it didn't start like that. It only started as a tool I could use to deliver client projects, as I was trying to become a freelance for interactive 3D scenes for the web.
Project after project ( some examples here: https://polygon-lab.com/ ), I could improve Polygonjs. Then I found clients who would be interested enough to buy licenses, and would give valuable feedback which would help the project grow even more.
And a few clients asking for not just interactive sites, but also games. This pushed Polygonjs further, and after several games released, it definitely qualifies as a game engine.
So this is generally an advice I give to people who want to become freelancers. Build a tool that solves a problem in your space, as this gives you an edge, and you'll also get the chance to confront that tool to reality, which will help it - and you - grow. This becomes a virtuous circle very quickly.

how can I convert a 3D model into an SDF, a signed distance field
You can have a look how I do it in Polygonjs (which is a node-based design tool based on threejs), in this example scene.

ThreeJS capabilities
If you're familiar with Houdini, I invite you to try Polygonjs, which is based on threejs and inspired by Houdini. You can basically build threejs in a procedural way, with just nodes.

I’m starting to get into generative media and visual making and I want to know what software to use other than touchdesigner.
You could try Polygonjs. It's inspired by Houdini, so has a lot in common with TouchDesigner (it's fully node-based, you can create audio reactive apps), and it works on the web, which makes scenes very easy to share.

Help me out ya’ll. Spline 3D vs Dora 3D?
Can I invite you to try Polygonjs as well?

Sdf – Generate 3D meshes based on SDFs
you can generate an SDF from a mesh with [Polygonjs](https://polygonjs.com). Here is an [example scene](https://polygonjs.com/examples/bynode:mat:raymarchingbuilder...).
It won't generate a function, though. Instead it creates a 3D texture which is used inside the raymarching material. In my experience this is much more performant, and also art-directable.
(disclaimer, I'm building Polygonjs)

Need help for job
It sounds like you need a dynamic system that runs in the browser. Maybe try Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com )? The the 3rd interactive scene on the front page gives an idea of a dynamic model. I run it, if that of interest, happy to give more examples

Vegetation modelling tool
If you ever wanted to do a vegetation modelling tool for the web, I invite you to try it on Polygonjs, it has a lot of similarities with Houdini (node-based, procedural modeling, HDA system, etc) and is all web/realtime. And open source.
